Entre outros : uma análise da transformação ritual entre os Kagwahiva
Resumen
As an outcome of the ethnography carried through among the Tenharim - a kagwahiva group from the Madeira river basin in Southern Amazon Rainforest - this dissertation's major point is the Mboatawa, a feast that takes place annually between June and August, and the ritual transformations. This work is, hence, an ethnography of the ritual metamorphosis triggered by two distinct aerophones called Yreru and Yrua, as well as the singing of the elders. Through these expressive elements present in the Mboatawa and the approach to the tenharim landscape, I develop an assay of the temporality emerged from the alterations provoked by the feast and the inherent transformation in their topography. However, the Mboatawa is not restrict to the expressive forms, but also to other domains, such as the chieftainship and Mutum (Myty-Nygwera) and the system of moieties Taravé (Kwandu).
