Dançar recém-nascidos, submeter inimigos, formar guerreiros: a dança da criança como fonte de força, vitalidade e resistência entre os yukpa
Mostrar biografia dos autores
A dança das crianças Yukpa, o primeiro ritual para os recém-nascidos, tenta produzir pessoas fortes, corajosas e valentes, que possam resistir aos ataques dos inimigos. O artigo trata esse ritual a partir de suas diferentes fases e as formas específicas de predação que sustentam sua logica. Argui-se que o ritual representa uma forma de predação distinta a aquela que considera as noções amazônicas. Em vez de focar-se na exo-pratica da incorporação de Outrem, promulga uma formação endo-prática de vitalidade, força e resistência expressada em termos vegetais, a fermentação estimulante do tami, a massa de milho moída, a superação das restrições e da vulnerabilidade associadas às restrições da couvade. Ao mesmo tempo, os inimigos simbólicos são eliminados ritualmente e a violência é mimetizada e representada entre os participantes do ritual. Isto não apenas produz pessoas fortes, ousadas e finaliza a reclusão dos pais, também cria as condições para atacar aos inimigos.
