title: Digital Inclusion for Indigenous People: Techniques for using computers and smartphones among the Pataxó of Aldeia Velha (Bahia, Brazil)

description: Abstract This article reflects on information and communication technology from the perspective of the Anthropology of Technique. It provides an ethnography of technical relationships and interactions that occur through the medium of computers, smartphones and software, among the Pataxó of Aldeia Velha, in the far south of the Brazilian state of Bahia. These relations both transform and are transformed by the social morphology of the group, generating new skills, mobilizing and organizing material flows and revealing new operational sequences.

title: The Sound of Technique: Gesture, rhythm and form in bobbin lacing in the Brazilian Northeast

description: Abstract Knocking the bobbins is how lace-makers refer to “lacing”. It is an act that, at first sight, does not present any specific technical function, but which, on closer inspection, reveals itself as a fundamental elementary act for elaborating a good lace, since it ensures the firmness of the weave. Through an analysis of the different meanings of this category, the article discusses the relationship between, on the one hand, gesture and rhythm, and, on the other, effects and resulting forms. Each of the senses of knocking the bobbins analysed here are, in turn, tied to different levels of action, since all involve gestures, rhythms, effects and specific forms.

title: Ceramic Production Technology among the Asurini of Xingu: Technical choices, transformations and enchantment

description: Abstract Several studies in the anthropology of techniques have emphasized that beyond their material and pragmatic aspects, technologies are social constructs that produce meanings. Moreover, technical processes mediate relations between persons (human and nonhuman) and things, as a mode of transformative and symbolic action for the (re)creation of the world. In this article my intention is to present an ethnographic description of the ceramic production technology of the Asurini do Xingu to show the intertwining of the technical choices with the principles and social, aesthetic and cosmological perceptions of this people about the objects, and materials, and their transformations.

title: Reason and Sentiment in Normative Disputes

description: Abstract In the last fifty years, anthropology has engaged in intense debates about the rational grounds upon which ethnographic understanding rests. Whatever the particular stand taken by the respective interlocutors in these debates, the main reference shared by all interventions is the symbolic character of anthropological data and understanding. If that is so for any ethnographic context, the importance of focusing on the symbolic pre-structure of the lifeworld is even more significant when we look at normative disputes. This is because differently than assertoric statements about facts in the world, the meanings of norms exist prior to the research interests of the interpreter and lie first and foremost in the world views of the subjects who share them. My research about dispute resolution has shown that reason and sentiment often become entangled in these processes and their proper articulation is a condition for making the respective conflicts intelligible.

title: Anthropological practices, inter-group conflicts and shared colonial experiences in a regional context of the Lower Amazon

description: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present new reflections on ethnographic research conducted in the Lower Amazon, in social situations investigated under fieldwork conditions over two and a half decades. During this period, nation-building developmental projects promoted by capitalist enterprises and the modernising state, regarded as the two most important powers that organise space today, have been implemented. In this context of hegemonic developmental policies, narratives related to territorial and cultural rights are produced, which equally count on the contribution of anthropologists through academic research and the elaboration of legal and administrative reports in Brazil as new narrative genres.

title: The criminalization of indigenous people in Roraima state, Brazil: indigenous strategies to bring their rights into effect in the face of injustices and inequalities

description: Abstract The criminalization of indigenous people in the prisons of Roraima state, Brazil, is examined, in which the justice system, as throughout Brazil, has no mechanisms to identify indigenous people and recognize their differentiated constitutional rights, reinforcing the inequalities and injustices for indigenous people, the most oppressed and discriminated since colonial times. Over the past decade, indigenous organizations in the state capital have drawn attention to this problem and taken protagonist measures to try to change it. The Indigenous Council of Roraima (CIR), through their lawyer, Joênia Wapichana, elected, in 2018 the first Indigenous woman to be a federal deputy, set up a project to write down indigenous oral law so that it could be used locally to deal with criminal cases, encouraging indigenous communities to resolve accusations of crimes through councils of local leaders and thereby avoid them being handed over to the mainstream criminal justice system.

title: An anthropological perspective at the usurpation of indigenous identity in the 2018 and 2021 elections in Mexico

description: Abstract The construction of a plural democracy with the inclusion of indigenous people in conditions of equality has great challenges, because although affirmative actions in electoral matters have made significant progress, the distance between the norms and their compliance is enormous. Electoral equity is still a pending issue, initially because there is resistance from political parties and political actors to pluralize power. The main problem is not solved only in terms of legal technique, that is, to fine-tune the mechanisms of implementation and control of affirmative actions, it is a complex situation that has its roots in a culture where racism in the face of diversity Ethnicity is in force and corruption is its main obstacle. This is clearly expressed in the results of the electoral contests to elect Federal Deputies in the Indigenous Districts for the LXIV (2018-2021) and LXV (2021-2024) legislatures.

title: What was Research for the Peasants of Córdoba? Participation in the Early Years of Participatory Action Research

description: Abstract Reflections on participatory and collaborative research commonly neglect to pay attention to the fact that for community researchers, investigation into their own realities frequently takes forms very different from those of academic scholars. They may use methods that are more explicitly intuitive and may depart from approaches that involve the rigorous collection and systematization of data. This paper explores what research might have meant to the Caribbean peasants of the early 1970s with whom Colombian sociologist Orlando Fals Borda developed his approach to what is today called participatory action research. In particular, it focuses on the field notes of Alfonso Salgado Martínez, a leader of the National Association of Peasant Users-Sincelejo Line (ANUC, Asociación Nacional de Usuarios Campesinos-Línea Sincelejo), juxtaposing them to his published work, both read in comparison to Fals Borda's own notes and writings.

title: Anthropologies in the extreme south: From silencing to outburst

description: Summary Based on the review of the work of anthropologists in Chile, this article propose to reflect on the disciplinary drifts throughout its history, the difficulties and challenges to become a critical Anthropology committed to diversity and otherness. It is proposed that even when Anthropology suffers its dismantling during the dictatorship years, as of the social outbreak of October 18, 2019, the work of the discipline gains in reflexivity, visibility, and critical positioning. The text is organized around the main thematic knots that have accompanied our discipline: memory and subalternity; People of the Earth; feminism and dissent; heterotopias in heritage; ecology. It concludes with the challenges for the consolidation of a critical anthropology committed to the transformation processes of our cultures: the question of autonomy; commitment to the public; critical otherness; other knowledge; the indiscipline of transdiscipline; the cosmopolitics of poetics.

title: Rebel and revolutionary women: contributions to feminist anthropology (1970-1992)

description: Abstract Feminist anthropology has built a field of knowledge within the discipline from a gender perspective. Currently, there are few works on the development of local feminist anthropologies. For that reason, in this work, I am interested in recovering the life and work of some important thinkers for feminist anthropology which I refer as rebels and revolutionaries. I focus on the development of this subfield in Chiapas and Central America, between the 1970s and 1990s (20th century), a period marked by political conflicts, repression, and counterinsurgency policies, which strongly affected students and teachers of the time, some of them organized in the Central American revolutionary movements. I focus specifically on the contributions of Alaíde Foppa, Stella Quan, Walda Barrios, and Marta Casaús and I analyze not only their anthropological and socio-scientific work about Marxist and socialist feminist critiques of traditional notions of class, the influences of Gramscian thought, the anti-colonial questions that marked their thinking, but also their political experiences in social and revolutionary movements, as well as some of their personal experiences.

title: Incarceration of indigenous people in Brazil and resolution no. 287 of the National Council of Justice of Brazil

description: Abstract This article aims at analyzing Resolution No. 287 of the National Council of Justice of Brazil (CNJ), which establishes special procedures for the treatment of indigenous people who stand as accused, defendants, who are sentenced or are deprived of liberty and shows the necessary process to ensure their rights within the Brazilian Judiciary Branch. It encourages a reflection about why said Resolution’s impact on social representations within the Brazilian Judiciary Branch is nearly none. The Resolution No. 287 is a surprising step by CNJ to effectively recognize the cultural and ethnic plurality of the original peoples of Brazil, although it maintains contradictions inherent to the challenge of overcoming the assimilationist paradigm. However, beyond any new registration protocols, any reduction in incarceration rates or any training of magistrates and adaptation of their services, any change will ultimately come from the outside, as Brazilian elites abdicate privileges coming from their whiteness.
