Educação superior em etnodesenvolvimento, movimenos indígenas e agência da diferença étnica em Altamira/PA
(Universidade Federal de Sergipe, 2014-12) PARENTE, Francilene de Aguiar
This article discusses the experience of indigenous of Xypaia and Kuruaya ethnicities of the Xingu region to undergraduate degree in Ethnodevelopment of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and allows theoretical tools for identity reassurance in a context considered adverse and homogenizing, valuing relations with local indigenous movements. From written accounts and testimonies, it’s seen the growth of the indigenous community access to affirmative policies, noting a higher number of women belonging to the two already mentioned indigenous ethnic groups, what demonstrates a permission of the reintegration of younger members in organized indigenous movements and the stimulation of these to fight for the prestige of their identity, by the agency of their culture and for recognition of their ethnicity.

Escrituras indígenas de autoria de mulheres Potiguara (Brasil) e Mapuche (Chile)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-02-11) ALENCAR, Larissa Fontinele de; SARMENTO-PANTOJA, Tânia Maria Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3707451019100958; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1575-5679
In this dissertation I propose a study in the field of resistence literature on the writings written by the women from the Potiguara (Brazil) and Mapuche (Chile) native peoples. For this purpose, this research is structured as a great tessitura formed by threads and theoreticalmethodological lines whereby the basic epistemologies support, initially, on the process of brushing history against grain, thereby, tracing the (re)made literary plot made by indigenous women thread by thread. A priori, I realize that the literatures of indigenous authorship are resistence literatures and that the indigenous literary territory-body in connection with nature is done through words in defense, as well as it remains firm in its purpose and own ideologies, even with all the impositions and subjugations engendered by the hegemonic discourse perpetuazed by the colonizer. It’s also important to emphasize that the resistence literature is a field of literary theory that studies the literatures that emerge in contexts of authoritarianism, state of exception, barbaric situation, likewise in trauma situtations, or, even, thematize such psychologycal and socio-historical conditions. Therefore, this literature sub-area configures itself as a great potential to existence through resistence, thus forming a poetry rupture of “reexistence”. Seen in these terms, I consider that the Potiguara and Mapuche women’s writings are developed by words that transcend the resistence both gender and ethnic identity. This perspective is significant on the literary corpus of this research, and enables that the scope of the dissertation is done through the expression of the fractured body of the indigenous woman, which, consequently, in resistence, it tenses through the literary production, the memory, ancestry, gender issues, ethnic identity and subjective and collective relationships with the colonial trauma. From this point of view, the literary corpora of this research is composed of the texts by the Potiguara writers: Eliane Potiguara, Graça Graúna and Sulami Katy; of the Mapuche people the texts selected were by the writers: Graciela Huinao, Faumelisa Manquepillán and Daniela Catrileo. However, I reinforce that on this dissertation, there are also references to a considerable writing production created by other writers, including even some that belong to other ethnic groups. Thus, this is a bibliografic and qualitative research developed from a descreptive analytical approach and also done through the reading comprehension of the literary texts selected for it. For this purpose, after doing the literary copora analysis, I pursued to make text snatches that were consonant to the compression of poetic aspects of the indigenous writers’ texts, on the conception of an ancient escrevivência on the development of gender identity poetries and ethnic identities, besides a perspective of the indigenous view about the colonial traumas caused by the genocidal state. Finally, taking an overview about this research, I consider that one of the most significant contributions of this dissertation is on the combination of the resistence literature to indigenous literature, because it adds to this field another literary narrative from decolonial source that goes through bodies and texts that were excluded from literary studies for a longe time.

As memórias dos sertões: as práticas de cativeiro, escravidão e liberdade de índios e mestiços na Amazônia portuguesa (séculos XVII-XVIII)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-07-28) FERREIRA, André Luís Bezerra; ARENZ, Karl Heinz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0770998951374481
This thesis analyses the captivity, slavery and freedom practices of indigenous and mestizo descendants in the Portuguese Amazon during the 17th and 18th centuries. Since the seventeenth century, the Amazon region has been part of the global routes of slavery, in which the trans-Amazonian routes provided indigenous people for settlements, villages and also for the ports of the Caribbean and Europe. Faced with the trafficking and injustices of captivity, the Portuguese conquests established normative regimes that regulated the practices of recruitment - descent, rescue and just war - of indispensable indigenous workers. These normative regimes, in addition to the dichotomies of free and slave, ally and enemy, free or unfree, established a series of legal conditions that regulated the insertion of indigenous and mestizo peoples into colonial society, such as free, captive, prisoner, slave and given condition. These normative regimes were dynamic, and their reformulations were linked to the multifaceted processes of the region and to the transformations that took place in the global conjunctures of the Portuguese kingdom. Among these processes, the dynamics of mestizaje played a central role. It was a constitutive aspect of the laws relating to indigenous peoples and their descendants. Irrespective of normativities, indigenous women and men were active subjects of mestizaje and also producers of new categories of social qualifications through their interactions with people of different qualities and legal conditions. Thus, I argue that this set of legal normativities, in conjunction with the qualifications of social identities, affirmed the asymmetrical dependencies into which indigenous people and mestizos were inserted within the social hierarchies of colonial Amazonia. In turn, these subjects, through their interactions with other social agents, also knew how to use the prevailing laws and make them intelligible in their favour. Therefore, this research examines, through the actions of freedom of the Court of the Junta das Missões and the civil actions of freedom of the Private Judge of Freedoms, the access of indigenous people and mestizos to the spheres of justice to denounce the unjust captivity to which they were subjected and to obtain recognition of their freedoms. Prisoners in court used family memories to (re)affirm their indigenous origins and/or to denounce the illegality with which their relatives were rescued and imprisoned in the sertões and floodplains of the Amazon and taken to colonial spaces. This strategy, in addition to a social qualification, had a legal and socio-political dimension, since indigenous origin could guarantee them rights, especially their freedoms.

O quadrilátero cabano e as cabanagens nos Sertões da Amazônia: guerra, índios, rios e matas (1790-1841)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-09-18) BARRIGA, Letícia Pereira; RICCI, Magda Maria de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4368326880097299
This study covers indigenous participation in the Cabanagem Revolution. From a historical narrative, this thesis sets out to understand the Cabanagem Revolution that took place in Amazon backlands based on the indigenous protagonism around the actions of three ethnic groups, the Mura, the Munduruku and the Mawé. Inhabitants and masters of an immense area, the interfluve of the Madeira, Tapajós and Amazonas rivers, these indigenous people have printed their cultural marks with their arts of war and own interests, leading the cabanagem battles in the interior of the province towards increasingly radicalized directions, shaping their territory into a Cabano Quadrilateral. Through ancestral knowledge of forest, the indigenous people were able to act in an imperative way, determining in a large extent the advances and setbacks of the Cabanagem Revolution. In this sense, within a chronological arrangement, the thesis develops its narrative supporting its main argument that the Cabanagem lasted so long, leading to a process that was difficult to resolve due to its radicalization by the effective indigenous participation. Throughout the eight chapters the thesis is based, showing how indigenous actions from the second half of the 18th century, but especially 1790, and in the first two decades of the 19th century, went through a process of reworking their ways of opposing the colonial project. Thus, in the 1830s, their actions were radicalized, broking with the institutional channels of resolving their issues, and deciding for armed struggle, taking part in the civil war that broke out in Grão-Pará. Using the method of the indicative paradigm and the methodology of Ethnohistory, we located, through the traces left in the documentation, the indigenous evidence in the Cabanagem built in the Amazon backlands.
