Abstract This article examines solidarity networks that have been organized during the Covid-19 pandemic in the peripheries of the city of São Paulo to respond to the overlapping of economic and sanitary crises, which particularly affect families in precarious living conditions. The objective is to argue that these articulations reveal a context marked by the state’s abandonment of its responsibilities to guarantee social rights, and by resistances and struggles that articulate race, gender, class and territory, which have grown in the past decade in the peripheries. Finally, it emphasizes the fundamental role of women who construct these networks through their daily experiences providing care. Care is not understood here as being restricted to the domestic dimension, but as a gendered practice that produces relations and struggles.

Abstract This paper presents and discusses some examples of how mathematical figures and engineering approaches can be detected in anthropological theorizing and how a mathematical reading of certain anthropological theories is possible and sometimes fruitful. The paper proceeds in three steps: a comparison between experimental measuring and engineering “black boxing” as different ways of representing ethnographic reportage and anthropological theorizing; a discussion of feedback loops in anthropological theorizing; and a discussion of chaos theory and fractal geometry and some of their uses in anthropological writing. I finish by hinting at the fruitfulness of making allies across disciplinary boundaries given our anthropocenic predicaments and limitations in our cross disciplinary analogies.

Abstract Fervently criticizing the theme of difference and public policies that emphasize it, Bolsonaro and other top officials in his government propose a new indigenist policy for the country, based on the understanding that all Brazilians are equal. This article seeks to demonstrate that supported on a generic notion of equality, Bolsonaro has established an indigenist policy that seeks its own extinction by putting an end to difference, or its recognition, leading the Brazilian state to return to assimilationist policies from the period before the promulgation of the Federal Constitution of 1988. The article explores government actions related to Indigenous territorial rights and gives special attention to efforts to liberate Indigenous Lands for the realization of various economic activities, such as mining, gold prospecting, cattle raising, energy generation, tourism, and cultivation of genetically modified organisms.

Resumen El presente trabajo pretende ser un aporte desde la antropología social uruguaya a partir del intercambio generado en el simposio por la Encuesta Global de Práctica Antropológica Profesional (Global Survey of Anthropological Practice-GSAP), organizado por el World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA) en julio de 2018 (IUAES, Florianópolis, Brasil), que buscó poner en diálogo diversas realidades locales. Con el fin de llegar a describir algunas de las características de la práctica profesional de la antropología en Uruguay -desde un enfoque básicamente cuantitativo-, recupero el registro de los antecedentes que formaron parte de relevamientos realizados en 2014 por la Unidad de Egresados de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación (FHCE) de la Universidad de la República Oriental del Uruguay (UdelaR), y realizo algún cruzamiento de datos de la encuesta GSAP levantada en 2018 por la Asociación Uruguaya de Antropología Social y Cultural (AUAS), actualizando, en forma preliminar, los datos obtenidos por otros relevamientos en progreso.

Abstract This study aims to record clinical and epidemiological data on COVID-19 in the local town of São Caetano de Odivelas (PA), in order to propose guidelines for the control of the pandemic and to reverse the socio-economic impacts. A form elaborated in the Google Docs application was used, by 200 respondents, followed by analysis and interpretation based on discourse and socio-cultural characteristics, revealing the ideology of political groups that hinder public policies, as well as the absence of socio-anthropological aspects in the consideration of sanitary measures. To conclude, three lines of action are proposed: awareness and clarification for the public concerning the pandemic, configuration of contagion networks based on families, and the guarantee of income and provisions for workers.
摘要本研究旨在记录 o Caetano de Odivelas (PA)当地城镇COVID-19的临床和流行病学数据，为控制大流行提出指导方针，扭转社会经济影响。200名受访者使用了谷歌Docs应用程序中详细阐述的表格，然后根据话语和社会文化特征进行分析和解释，揭示了阻碍公共政策的政治团体的意识形态，以及在考虑卫生措施时缺乏社会人类学方面的因素。最后，提出了三项行动方针:提高公众对这一流行病的认识和澄清，建立以家庭为基础的传染网络，以及保障工人的收入和供应。

Abstract This text presents initial questions from the SEXVID national survey on sexual practices and risk management in the Covid-19 context. The category of risk management, taken from studies about management and health in relation to HIV/AIDS and practices of assemblage, with reference to studies of materialities, articulates heterogeneous elements involved in managing offline sexual encounters in the context of the pandemic. We focus on two questions: how does this management take place, especially in a political environment lacking public policies on prevention and risk, and what are the practical materialities that constitute this articulated assemblage of elements that justify or not the risk of contamination. We use scenes constructed from semi-structured interviews in the initial phase of the study to contextualize the central question and learn about the impact of the pandemic on the sexual experiences of part of the population.

Abstract Based on ethnographic research, the article reflects on experimental surgical practices related to the development of ventricular assist devices (the so-called ‘artificial heart’). Focusing on the relationships between animal models and the numerous professionals involved in the experiment, the hypothesis of this article pinpoints the unavoidable game of exposing and protecting all the agents who establish relationships therein, as a condition for understanding and innovating on legitimate grounds. This game, ethnographically followed step by step, meets both scientific and ethical imperatives. The reflection leads us to consider, among other things, the sensitive, decisive character of otherness regarding experimental animals in the course of the experiments. According to the aforementioned hypothesis, this is when notions of participation and disparticipation in the game of otherness with these animal models seem to clarify the economy, simultaneously affective and intelligible, put into practice in the relationships performed therein.

Abstract The lack of understanding between the Judiciary and Indigenous Peoples in Brazil stems in large part from the state's refusal to recognize the sovereignty of the latter, while asserts its own sovereignty over them. There is little interest from judges and legal operators in knowing and recognizing the specific rights brought by indigenous alterity, recognized by the Federal Constitution of 1988. Academic interest in Indigenous Peoples in Law schools is still low and, in most cases when it occurs, is without the methodological tools of empirical research and the ethical concerns of anthropological fieldwork. I intend to analyze the difference between the typical approach of anthropologists and jurists on this subject, while defending the relevance and contribution of Legal Anthropology to all sides involved: Indigenous Peoples, Judiciary and Academia.

Abstract This paper examines what the Global Survey of Anthropological Practice reveals about anthropology as practiced in Hong Kong, and notes that the statistical data offered by Hong Kong Anthropological Association members does not reflect professional anthropology in the city. This is because the Hong Kong Anthropological Society is a non-professional association dedicated to bringing anthropological knowledge to a larger public, with an astonishing diversity of members from all walks of life. The paper suggests that this motley society, in its implicit repudiation of anthropological professionalism, may offer a modest lesson in how, even in a society in which the number of anthropologists is too tiny to create a viable professional organization, bringing anthropology to the public may nonetheless be eminently achievable.
