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.

With joy, Sexta do Mês invites everyone to the thematic table that will take place in October.

In the month in which the uninterrupted genocide against the Gaza Strip completes one year, the October edition of Sexta do Mês opens space for reflection on the experiences of exile, forced displacement and agency of the Palestinian people. In light of the new work by anthropologist Leonardo Schiocchet, entitled “Processes of Belonging and Social Organization among Arab Forced Migrants: Theoretical and Methodological Contributions”, published in 2024 by the Brazilian Anthropology Association (ABA) and Editora Fi, we propose the exercise of articulating ethnographic knowledge with the contemporary political scenario of the Middle East. The colonial occupation of Palestine, which began more than seven decades ago, is entering a new phase of violence and dispossession of the Arab-Palestinian population and, far from ending, is expanding to countries such as Lebanon, Iran and Yemen.

The Ethnographic Laboratory of Technological and Digital Studies (LETEC) and the Center for Studies on Social Markers of Difference (Numas) invite you to the launch and debate event for the book "We Need to Talk About Consent".
The debate will be held between the three authors: Arielle Sagrillo, Beatriz Accioly Lins and Silvia Chakian.
The book proposes a more detailed and qualified discussion on the concept of consent, central to various contemporary situations, and from different disciplinary perspectives.
The event will take place on October 18th, at 10 am, in Room 8.

The proposal for the Meeting of Knowledges Seminar at USP was developed by the Pro-Rectory of Inclusion and Belonging (PRIP), the Institute of Psychology (IP) and the Laboratory of Psychoanalysis, Society and Politics (PSOPOL), in dialogue with professors and researchers from several units and universities (IP/USP; FFLCH/USP; PROLAM/USP; IB/USP; FFCLRP/USP; DAN/UnB; Transversal Training Program in Traditional Knowledges/UFMG; FCM/Unicamp; Kaapora/Unifesp; Xingu Project/Unifesp; ICH/UFJF).

The Seminar will promote contact between the academic community and interested parties with traditional knowledge from the teachers present (from some Afro-diasporic and indigenous traditions).

Inhabiting fires

Monday, October 14 at 2:00 p.m. - Room 1037

The presentation will be based on the way in which the quilombolas of Jalapão (TO) inhabit the general environment. Instead of establishing static borders, buildings, and individualizing possession, it is a way of living that is expressed through wandering activities in areas with different temporalities of post-fire regeneration. In addition to demonstrating how this way of living broadens our understanding of the conditions of habitability at the time of large forest fires, the presentation will also seek to outline an ethnographic theory of quilombola freedom. In short, it is an experience of freedom that cannot be reduced to ecological autonomy, since it is guided by demands that are more than human, the effects of which have repercussions on a way of relating to fire that goes beyond its control.

The Ponto.Urbe magazine, a periodical linked to the Laboratory of the Center for Urban Anthropology at USP, announces Urbe em Foco VII!

International Study Conference - Techniques of the Body: 90 years of Marcel Mauss's essay

The conference aims to celebrate the ninetieth anniversary of the essay Techniques of the Body (1934), by French anthropologist Marcel Mauss (1872-1950). The event's motivation, through its anniversary, is not exactly to provide a remembrance of the text, but rather to encourage its reinterpretation by the Brazilian public. Often cited in Brazil as an inspiration for the anthropology of the body, the essay is also considered, in France, the founder of the anthropology of technique. This second line of investigation repositions contemporary anxieties surrounding technophobias and techno-utopias, in addition to outlining methodological paths, including audiovisual ones, for the perception and description of the “traditional and effective acts” that constitute technique. In keeping with the interdisciplinarity that characterizes the essay, the event will promote connections between anthropology and archaeology, understanding that Marcel Mauss's emphasis on mastering technique through the body underscores the continuity between the biological, the psychological, and the social.

Prof. Clara Han at USP

Clara Han is a Professor of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. Her research focuses on how territories and medical and legal institutions intertwine with intimate life in contexts marked by economic precarity and violence. Han has conducted over two decades of fieldwork in low-income neighborhoods in Santiago, Chile, exploring illness, violence, and kinship under conditions of deprivation. Most recently, she has conducted research in Korea, with a special focus on the Korean War. She is the author of Life in Debt: Times of Care and Violence in Neoliberal Chile and Seeing Like a Child: Inheriting the Korean War, the latter of which won the Senior Prize of the Association for Feminist Anthropology in 2022. Her work addresses the slow shifts in subjectivity, the dynamics of care and neglect in intimate relationships, and how violence is inherited across generations. Han also co-edited the volume Living and Dying in the Contemporary World with Veena Das.

Graduate students are invited to a meeting/debate with anthropologist Clara Han (John Hopkins University, United States).
