Uma etnografia sobre a relação entre adultos e crianças mbyá-guarani: estudo sobre os Pereira Benites, Pelotas/Canguçu, RS. Maria

Abstract

This dissertation shows the process of knowledge construction of the education of children – kryngüe – in the community. I show how this learning process happens in a shared form together with the adults of a collective or – kuéry – in the language of the Mbyá-Guarani indigenous people. This study purposes to demonstrate, from the observation of the daily activities of these children, the meaning of the childhood in this process. I show the protagonism of the children in this universe, the things that they do and how they are important to the construction of the person and of the “being” mbyá inside the social context in what they live. The universe of my research is the nucleous of relatives – kuéry - Mbyá-Guarani that currently live in the Tekoá Guajavy Poty, located in the Canguçu municipality, with some ethnographic visits to the Tekoá Tavaí, both of them located in the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.
