The Anthropological Editathon aims to hold a two-day workshop on learning how to create and edit Wikipedia entries. The first meeting (November 6) will focus on presenting Wikipedia and its potential, and we will make the first edit on the platform. In the second meeting (November 7), we will hold an editing marathon with anthropological themes. Special attention will be given to authors who do not yet have entries, taking into account geographic location, race, gender, sexuality, and other social markers of difference.
Our meetings will take place via Google Meet. No previous experience with the Wikipedia platform is necessary! Anyone can participate.
The course is based on Wikimedia's Friendly Space Policies and aims to create a welcoming space for everyone, without distinction. Any form of harassment is not tolerated. For more information: https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policies/pt-br

In “Filosofia da Casa”, Emanuele leads us, through an intimate and delightful narrative, to explore living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and memories, presenting the home as a place of connection with the world and with ourselves. The book, which has a foreword written by anthropologist Júlia de Sá Earp and illustrations by Luiz Zerbini, unfolds the experience of Metamorphoses (Dantes, 2021) proposing, this time, to enter the cocoons to, finally, resignify them.
Professors in charge: Renato Sztutman (FLA) and Jean Tible (FLP)

Mediation: Professors Renato Sztutman and Guilherme Fagundes.

The open class precedes the launch of the book Filosofia da Casa, which will take place at Casa do Povo, on 10/26. See I adopt.

Meeting with Edilene Coffaci de Lima (UFPR) at CEstA/USP, Thursday, 10/24/2024, at 5:00 p.m.

There is extensive documentation about the Xetá, an indigenous group that speaks the Tupi-Guarani language and was officially contacted just over 70 years ago in northwestern Paraná: from the Indian Protection Service (SPI), the Anthropology Department of UFPR, the Museu Paranaense, the Círculo de Estudos Bandeirantes, among other archives. I will present how research has been conducted based on the records of these institutions and others yet to be explored, such as the Minor Order of Capuchin Friars, as well as the Chambers and City Halls of municipalities that were built on their lands.
