The Tekoá Ka’aguy Porã: Ancestral Space and Mbya-Guarani Subjectivity Production

Abstract

In this article we present some discussions derived from the dissertation “Mbya-Guarani Retrieval in Yvyrupá: production of subjectivity, agency and creation of strategies of struggle”, whose objective was to investigate subjectivation processes, production of coping/resistance strategies of the Myba-Guarani natives in the area of Maquiné/RS, Brazil. It was understood that, for this, the method of cartography was interesting, since it allows tracing the paths of social actors in the field of experience. Based on an analysis of materials such as field diaries, indigenous photos posted in a WhatsApp group that aggregated supporters, broadcasting aids on the Internet, we approach here one of the points developed in the dissertation: the Mbya sociocosmological space that was updated in that region – the tekoá Ka’aguy Porã – understanding it as ancestral space (taken up in the Retrieval) for the realization of the way of life – the tekó – Mbya-Guarani. We seek to draw approximations, articulations and conceptual twists to think about the production of subjectivity of this indigenous people. In conclusive terms, we make considerations about what we understand to be potent openings and contributions to social psychology, as well as to the social sciences and to research with indigenous peoples.
