Do Tsihuri ao Waradzu: o que as ideologias xavante de concepção, substância e formação da pessoa nos dizem sobre o estatuto ontológico do outro?

Abstract

This work reflects about the notions of conception, substance and personhood among the the Shavante Indians (and between the Gê Indians, in general) and its perception of the Other. What I try to demonstrate is that such notions, although it seems to, are not static, but extremely dynamic - being that such dynamism reflects an ideology of inclusive perception of this "Other", beyond bodiness, but also in its mythology, history and in the contact with the whites.
