Trançando o cotidiano: uma abordagem sobre a produção de cestaria Guarani Mbya
Abstract
This research introduces an approach about the Guarani Mbya's basketry production universe,
from the indigenous land Boa Vista do Sertão do Prumirim, located on Ubatuba, at the north
coast of the state of São Paulo. I begin this work with a discussion about the creation of the
world and the construction of the body and the person Guarani Mbya. To make, from this,
considerations about the basketry handmade production. The purpose was to comprehend how
the basketry production can tell us about the relations between humans and not humans, people
and objects, about indigenous and not indigenous. Relationships that are generated during this
process of making. The women of the village are the main agents inside this relationship
network. When they get together to braid their baskets, these women tell us, through the graphic
patterns, the use of colours and shapes that weave in the taquara, about the mythical narratives
about the creation of the world and the differences of origin between Mbya and juruá. The
women and their baskets, figure as “chroniclers of reality”, weaving together the daily life of
the village
