Sound pharmacology in the upper Rio Negro: (re)generation and degeneration of bodies

Based on the region of the upper Rio Negro and my ethnographic experience with the Yuhupdeh people, I intend to reflect on healing and protective blessings, Jurupari wind instruments and their associations with the processes of (re)generation and degeneration of bodies. I propose to approach the blessings and Jurupari instruments as an androgynous technology of artifactual insemination that not only (re)generates bodies, but also degenerates them, in the manner of a sound pharmacology. To this end, I will use as an ethnographic basis a set of stories from the past told by various peoples who inhabit the upper Rio Negro region (Tukano, Yuhupdeh, Hupd’äh, Desano, etc.) that tell about the origins of the blessings and Jurupari instruments; a set of anthropological works, some of them produced by indigenous people from the region, that deal with the subject; and finally, a set of ethnographic material of sound recordings of Jurupari instruments and the verbal forms of the blessings carried out throughout my ethnographic research.

The Sixth of the Month invites everyone to the November themed table!

Theme: The enchantment of the mina drum in São Paulo

The mina drum is an Afro-Brazilian religion prevalent in the states of Pará and Maranhão, arriving in São Paulo around the 1970s by the Pará native Francelino de Xapanã, who brought with him several cultural elements that were very present in the realities of Pará and Maranhão, which were adapted to the capital of São Paulo through this migratory movement. With voduns and orixás as the entities worshipped, the mina drum also brings a category known as “enchanted”, those who do not go through the process of death, become “enchanted” and inhabit the “enchantments”. To discuss this universe of Minas Gerais, we will bring three priests, sons of Pai Francelino, to discuss these elements.

Guests
