Directions of Existence: Indigenous Women Domestics in the Paris of the Tropics1

Abstract: Resumen Enquanto a maior parte da literatura sobre populações indígenas enfatiza o apego aos lugares, tomando qualquer movimento fora dos territórios tradicionais como uma perda de identidade, o caso da mobilidade das mulheres Tukano do Alto Rio Negro para a cidade de Manaus, no Brasil, ilustra a importância da mobilidade e agilidade, mais que permanência ou territorialidade, como importantes recursos. Fugindo de condições de trabalho forçado, as mulheres Tukano encontram na cidade vários meios de subsistência… Show more

“…The ‘Paris of the Tropics’, as it came to be known, exhibited the most modern signs of urbanisation in the middle of the Amazonia, with electric trams, a sophisticated theatre house, Roman‐inspired columns and foreign plants that substituted the native forest (Bernal, 2009; Chernela, 2014). This modernisation project removed from the city centre any ethnic marker that could reveal an undeveloped colony behind the beautiful belle‐époque buildings, as discussed in greater detail by Chernela (2015). Even though indigenous groups have historically participated in the city's growth and urban dynamics from its early beginnings, they have been denied actual citizenship, excluded from state support programmes and pushed to the outskirts of the city (Mainbourg, Araújo and Almeida, 2002; Almeida and Santos, 2009; Bernal, 2009).…”

“…Nos parece un hecho importante que en el contexto de la modernidad tardía y el proyecto neoliberal del multiculturalismo, o pos-multiculturalismo (Postrero 2006), la indigeneidad, como signo de tradición y autenticidad, sirva al mismo tiempo de herramienta estratégica de articulación a la modernidad. Tal como señalan varios autores (Chernela 2015, Fisher 2015, Peluso 2015b, la ciudad ofrece un espacio de negociación y de construcción social e identitaria, el cual frecuentemente conjuga y articula, de manera coyuntural, estratégica y fluida, elementos de contraste: de incorporación ("ciudadano", "sujeto nacional") o de alteridad ("indígena").…”

“…El centro urbano, en este caso, brinda la oportunidad de formarse como otro tipo de persona, de inscribirse en ella y de expresarlo en las prácticas, habilidades, presencia o en la manera de comportarse, orientarse e inclusive de caminar (de Certeau 1984). La incorporación de elementos urbanos y rurales en la construcción de su personeidad e identidad apuntan hacia un cosmopolitanismo indígena emergente (Campbell 2015), el cual se refleja a partir de una serie de prácticas históricamente situadas, personificadas en el cuerpo, expresadas en el quehacer diario y de manera estratégica (Chernela 2015, Peluso 2015.…”

“…The scope of rural to urban relocation extends throughout the Amazon Basin with indigenous peoples moving to Amazonian towns and cities, larger national cities outside the Amazon, and in some cases migrating internationally (McSweeney & Jokisch, 2007, 2015; Perz et al, 2008). The large regional capital of Manaus in northern Brazil, for example, has seen a large influx of indigenous people in recent decades (Chernela, 2015). Additionally, we have witnessed large rural to urban indigenous moves in the Amazon in north-western Brazil (Eloy & Le Tourneau, 2009), Peru (Peluso & Alexiades, 2005) and Venezuela (Urrea-Giraldo, 1994).…”
