Cyril Menta, « Multiplicar los campos de investigación. Una multietnografía bajo el prisma de la práctica ritual con pueblos indígenas en la región Nordeste del Brasil », HALSHS : archive ouverte en Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société - notices sans texte intégral, ID : 10.17151/rasv.2020.22.1.2
This paper presents an analysis of the my ethnographic itinerary characterized by a fieldworks realized among various indigenous peoples of the Northeast region of Brazil. Groups claiming the officialization of their indigenous identity in this region had to prove their indigeneity by means of ritual practice. Through the perspective of ritual practice I hope to describewhat the very essence of regional ethnogenesis embodies: the relationships established with settling entities of the invisible world, the relentless symbolic war aiming to diminish the influence of malefic entities, and the indigenous will to create an invisible army at a regional scale. In this paper, the different moments of the process through which I developed a multi-ethnography as well as the new challenges encountered in defining a vast network of inter-indigenous relationships.
