Guarani Indians, Kesuita, TerritorialityAbstract
Guarani beliefs, as the Kesuita or Nhanderu and the Land with no evil, are here seen as autochthon axiomatic propositions, which refer to notions as those of territory and territoriality. The myth is an oral theory of practice, which uses heavenly bodies and elements of nature as tools for creating concepts, or “ideographic bases” (LÉVI-STRAUSS, 1964). It is intended to demonstrate that the mythic discourse can bear an indirect connection, or even a direct one, with empirical reality, while stressing those issues relating to territoriality.Downloads
