Abstract The article analyses the interaction between the criminal justice system and persons of the Xakriabá Indigenous people facing criminal prosecution in the Manga district in Northern Minas Gerais. To do so, I draw on the material gathered in the fieldwork I carried out in the region in early 2020, as well as on current legislation, selected jurisprudence from the Supreme Court, and documents produced by the bodies responsible for the criminal and prison policies in Brazil. I argue in the paper that the category of 'Indigenous person' mobilized by state agents differs from that conceived by the Xakriabá themselves, and that this dissonance often implies the lack of ethnic recognition of these persons throughout the criminal process and the failure to record their presence in official prison management documents. As a consequence, what is seen is the violation of the right to self-identification and the non-enforcement of legal guarantees granted to all Indigenous persons by the Brazilian legal system.

Abstract In this paper I draw attention to the happening of childbirth among the Guarani-Mbyá women. I highlight the centrality of a care language in the act of birth and of being born supported by the production of human bodies and kin. From Yva deliveries’ stories I explore the connection between silences, bodies and human and non-human socialities by interweaving it with native modes of care and a critical analysis of the medicalization of birth derived from the relationship with the “Juruá (“white”) system”. I emphasize a non-reductive understanding of life and health in the translation of epistelomogies of care between indigenous and biomedical sociocosmologies. The data presented are results from a long-term ethnographic research carried out among guarani-mbyá collectives of the southern Brazil.

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.

Resumen El artículo trata de mostrar una metodología interdisciplinaria y participativa novedosa, basada en un modelo de investigación-acción participativa y en la construcción colectiva de conceptos para poder valorar el racismo y la discriminación y sus efectos económicos y sociales en la población discriminada y en el conjunto del país. El diagnóstico del racismo tuvo como finalidad la creación de una política pública que paliara la discriminación étnica y de género y que sentara las bases de un estado plural, que favoreciera a toda la ciudadanía y promoviera la igualdad de trato y de oportunidades.

Resumen A los antropólogos se nos piden políticas para gestionar la multiculturalidad. Sin embargo, los conflictos interculturales aumentados por las migraciones masivas, la expansión mundial de las industrias comunicacionales, la mezcla de formas productivas y consumos locales, nacionales y globales cambiaron las condiciones de convivencia entre etnias, naciones, géneros y generaciones. Este artículo contribuye a reimaginar las tareas actuales de la antropología revisar cómo trataron los malentendidos interculturales antropólogos y sociólogos de varios países: Marc Abélès, Roberto da Matta, Gustavo Lins Ribeiro, Claudio Lomnitz, Guillermo O’Donnell, Renato Ortiz, Rossana Reguillo y Ana Rosas Mantecón, así como en los estudios recientes sobre jóvenes, tecnologías e intercambios académicos. El autor analiza el papel de las discrepancias en la interacción entre culturas en un tiempo en el que ganan fuerza los fundamentalismos identitarios.

Abstract In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada issued a landmark decision in Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia. In this decision, the Supreme Court recognised Aboriginal title to a specific territory for the first time, along with Aboriginal rights to hunt, trap, and engage in other practices. While international human rights law relating to Indigenous peoples, notably the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, was not directly relied upon in this decision, the subsequent negotiations and outcome documents have gradually included the UN Declaration into the discussion, in conjunction with the political and legal shift towards recognition and acceptance of it in Canada. By exploring the political and legal struggles of the Tsilhqot'in, particularly after the 2014 decision, this paper considers a growing space for the UN Declaration in defining the declared Aboriginal rights and title.

Resumen A partir de la revisión del quehacer de antropólogos/as en Chile se reflexiona sobre las derivas disciplinares a lo largo de su historia, las dificultades y desafíos para constituirse en una Antropología crítica y comprometida con la diversidad y la alteridad. Se plantea que aun cuando la Antropología sufre su desmantelamiento durante los años de dictadura, a partir del estallido social del 18 de octubre 2019 el quehacer de la disciplina gana en reflexividad, visibilidad y posicionamiento crítico. El texto se organiza en torno a los principales nudos temáticos que han acompañado a nuestra disciplina: memoria y subalternidad; gente de la tierra; feminismo y disidencias; heterotopias en el patrimonio; ecología. Se concluye con los desafíos para la consolidación de una antropología crítica y comprometida con los procesos de transformación de nuestras culturas: la cuestión de la autonomía; el compromiso con lo público; la alteridad crítica; los saberes otros; la indisciplina de la transdisciplina; la cosmopolítica de la poética.

Abstract In this paper, we present our ethnographic material and interpretations concerning the meanings that men and women imprisoned in the Federal District, Brazil attributed to their everyday experiences, with a special focus on the situations, statements and perceptions of these social actors related to that which we classify as structural processes of discursive exclusion. Drawing from our field data, we argue that these processes are a central dimension of pulling time, which not only configure a form of disrespect, but also the condition needed to sustain a structural scenario of violence and violation of rights in these prisons. In addition, the processes of discursive exclusion are essential to understand how the experiences of disrespect were interpreted and addressed by the interlocutors. The data presented are the result of ethnographic research carried out between 2014 and 2018 with men and women imprisoned the Federal District, Brazil.

Abstract The continuous examination of the formation and development of the social sciences is part of the intellectual tradition of Brazilian anthropology. The inaugural landmark in the institutionalization of anthropological science in the country is usually taken to be the advent of higher education courses in social sciences in the 1930s. This article looks to contribute to the debate on the history of Brazilian anthropology by analysing the creation and functioning of the Institute of Anthropology at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in the 1960s. This analysis seeks to problematize the idea that the anthropology produced far from the major centres was ‘provincial,’ demonstrating the dynamics assumed in this context in the academic training and the research produced at this institute.

Abstract The struggle of Indigenous Peoples for historical justice and reparation has gained visibility with the truth commissions' work in Brazil and Canada. Their final reports confirmed the Canadian and Brazilian states' responsibility for the genocide of thousands of Indians. To start a reconciliation process, several redress recommendations were made, but never fully accomplished. We observed repeated violence acts against Indigenous Peoples in both countries more than five years after these recommendations were published. The purpose of this article is to evaluate, from the Critical Studies of Transitions’ perspective, the reconciling and reparative scope of the Truth Commissions of Brazil and Canada and to analyze the difficulties of implementing their recommendations. We show that despite promises to transform colonial relations, these Truth Commissions have been unable to address the past and the continuity of structural violence affecting Indigenous Peoples.
