The To and Fro of Documents: Vying for Recognition in Enawene‐nawe Dealings with the Brazilian State

Abstract: Resumen O artigo considera como uma população Ameríndia, os Enawene‐nawe, dispõem os seus documentos ao lidar com o Estado brasileiro e com empresas construtoras de barragens hidroelétricas. O foco reside na maneira como o uso dos documentos se relaciona com a ideologia linguística existente e com as práticas políticas—consideradas conjuntamente como um estilo de “diplomacia externa”.

“…And indeed, state documents have routinely been assessed as sites of negotiation, rather than of unilateral expressions of power. In the case of the Amazon, for example, scholars have demonstrated that official documents are seen as instrumental for demanding resources from authorities (Allard and Walker ; Gonçalves Martín ; Nahum‐Claudel ; Penfield ). And elsewhere in the Andes, Gordillo () discussed their strategic use in seeking protection against state violence.…”
