“…The emphasis was thus on native notions of body and consubstantiality; rather than being seen as natural givens, these came to be understood as products of society and culture. Consubstantiality, located in this new body, was no longer a relation determined by birth, but a condition being continuously produced through acts of sharing, particularly of foods (Carsten 1995;Rival 1998) and mutual care (McCallum 1998;Overing & Passes 2000).…”

This article analyses the process of producing kinship among various Amazonian peoples, focusing primarily on the Wari’, a Txapakura‐speaking people living in Western Amazonia (Brazil). It argues that the production of kin cannot be related exclusively to the domestic or intra‐tribal domain, since kinship emerges through a constant dialogue with non‐human entities. By examining the significance of alimentary taboos associated with couvade practices in a number of groups, it shows that the new‐born is made human by means of the production of its body as a human body in contraposition to animal bodies.

“…Considering these specific results identified by the CFA in the Brazilian population, the first domain – items OP1 to OP5 – was named “sociability”, due to the common characteristic of these items to determine latent traces related to the individual’s integration with the social group in which they live. ( 26 ) A latent trace refers to an intrinsic capacity; thus, the use of the term “sociability” instead of “socialization,” which emphasizes an active process; ( 27 ) or of “social behavior,” which is the product of various “social behaviors,” ( 26 ) that is, various latent traces. The second domain – items OP6 to OP8 – was called “corporeality,” as it characterizes the form in which the brain uses the physical body to relate to the environment, notably, with the social milieu; ( 28 ) as opposed to the term “physicality,” which is substantially relative to the body, mechanically, and has little psychic denotation.…”

Objective To validate a reliable version of the Obesity-related Problems Scale in Portuguese to use it in Brazil.Methods The Obesity-related Problems Scale was translated and transculturally adapted. Later it was simultaneously self-applied with a 12-item version of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0), to 50 obese patients and 50 non-obese individuals, and applied again to half of them after 14 days.Results The Obesity-related Problems scale was able to differentiate obese from non-obese individuals with higher accuracy than WHODAS 2.0, correlating with this scale and with body mass index. The factor analysis determined a two-dimensional structure, which was confirmed with χ2/df=1.81, SRMR=0.05, and CFI=0.97. The general a coefficient was 0.90 and the inter-item intra-class correlation, in the reapplication, ranged from 0.75 to 0.87.Conclusion The scale proved to be valid and reliable for use in the Brazilian population, without the need to exclude items.

“…The Americanist debate now firmly sustains the view that the ingestion of certain types of food is important for the conception of how the Amerindian body and personhood are transformed (Belaunde 2001: 182; Fausto 2007; Gow 1991; McCallum 1998; Rival 1998: 621; Siskin 1973: 9; Uzendoski 2004; Vilaça 2005: 446). It has also been argued that among different Amazonian people commensality defines kin groups as ‘my co‐eaters’ (Goldman 2004: 142; Ramos 1995: 43).…”

Pleasures that differentiate: transformational bodies among the Tupinambá of Olivença (Atlantic coast, Brazil)

In this article I propose an ethnographic analysis of change and continuity as a transformational process lived in the body by the Tupinambá of Olivença (Brazil). This perspective provides an alternative to the models of either acculturation or ethnic resurgence that currently pervade approaches to indigenous people such as the Tupinambá, who were settled on the Brazilian Atlantic coast, by missionaries, in the seventeenth century. The ethnographic analysis suggests that in the Tupinambá case, transformational ethnic processes partially depend on corporeal dispositions towards drinking manioc beer. The argument is informed by multiple comparisons with reference to Americanist debates about Amazonian studies as well as to sixteenth‐century ethnological sources about the Tupi of the Atlantic coast. Résumé L'auteure propose ici une analyse ethnographique du changement et de la continuité en tant que processus transformationnel physique vécu par les Tupinambá d'Olivença, au Brésil. Ce point de vue constitue une alternative aux modèles d'acculturation ou de résurgence ethnique qui envahissent aujourd'hui l'approche des peuples autochtones tels que les Tupinambá, sédentarisés sur la côte atlantique du Brésil par les missionnaires au XVIIème siècle. L'analyse ethnographique suggère que dans le cas des Tupinambá, les processus ethniques transformationnels dépendent en partie d'une disposition physique à la consommation de bière de manioc. Cet argument est étayé par de nombreuses comparaisons faisant référence aux débats des américanistes sur les études amazoniennes et sur des sources ethnologiques du XVIème siècle relatives aux Tupi de la côte atlantique.
