Abstract

The ethnological literature about the Guarani to say that they have a cyclical temporality and that they are pessimistic in relation to the future, in function of their cataclysmic perspective (Nimuendaju, 1914, Metraux, 1976). However, the Ava-Guarani of Oco’y (Paraná’s west), that have an recent history of expulsions of traditional occupation’s places and of fight to the conquest of a territory for its settlement, they differ of this ethnological model in the measurement of they present project to the future, that prove that they not wait with resignation the next cataclysm. They say that the earth is going to burn, but now not because of a divine designation, but due to the devastation provoked for the “whites” the left without protection. This article will treat this perspective’s change. Keywords: Guarani cataclysmic perspective; cyclical temporality; historical temporality; indigenous leadership.
