Este artigo oferece uma reflexão sobre a centralidade do corpo da antropóloga nas pesquisas de campo e sobre como esta centralidade afeta e produz a escrita etnográfica. Busca-se problematizar os sentidos e os efeitos da corporeidade para o fazer etnográfico e mostrar que a presença corporal e material das pesquisadoras em campo produzem lugares de fala específicos, que afetam os modos de ver, fazer, pensar e escrever antropologia. Por meio de uma certa perspectiva feminista, a intenção é refletir sobre o estado de corpo etnográfico, que se deixa marcar pela sua biografia, pelos contextos históricos, pelas escolhas teóricas e pelas interações nas experiências de campo, produzindo deslocamentos, diferenciações, exclusões, justaposições dos sentidos corpóreos da antropóloga, constantemente localizados na fronteira, entre-mundos.

Este artigo busca estudar o uso do cachimbo e do tabaco entre os Mbya Guarani. Trata-se de um dispositivo central na comunicação com as divindades, mas que também é utilizado cotidianamente em ambientes onde esta relação não estaria (a princípio) em pauta. A análise do material etnográfico colhido pelo autor e a sua comparação com outros contextos ameríndios estabelece um campo semântico definido pelo pensamento mbya a partir do cachimbo e do tabaco buscando mostrar o que estes itens comunicam para além da relação com as divindades. Neste percurso passa-se pelo papel do cachimbo e do tabaco no sistema de trocas de feitiço entre as unidades locais mbya e também pela importância dos mesmos para a produção da pessoa mbya. Neste sentido conclui-se que gradientes de distância e de temperatura orientam de modo marcante o xamanismo mbya.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir y analizar el primer juicio de lesa humanidad que tuvo lugar en la provincia noreste argentina (Corrientes). Desde el trabajo de campo llevado a cabo en los tribunales locales de esta ciudad, se busca reflexionar bajo una perspectiva etnográfica, cómo los procesos de lesa humanidad han tenido repercusiones (y siguen teniendo) en el tejido local de las relaciones sociales, mientras tanbién han presionado e influido en el desempeño de las burocracias judiciales. Todo esto en espacios locales donde el activismo de derechos humanos se ha presentado de una manera menos organizada que en las grandes ciudades y donde la represión ha adquirido caracteristicas particulares. De la misma forma, este documento busca abordar la funcion restauradora de estas demandas para las víctimas y sus famílias para que revivan los conflictos que ocurrieron durante la dictadura, como “dramas sociales”.

Taking the events of World War I as a creation fuel, comes up a literary fiction about the construction and use of a state machine that tattooed on the body of the condemned the text of his sentence until the perforations took him to the death. Written by Kafka, fiction In the penal colony (1919) shows a tattoo machine as a judicial apparatus, whose operation was in the hands of a single agent of state. Such fiction was read by Clastres (2003) as an announcement of the most contemporary of the realities. Sharing the same understanding, I bring the discussion about the fictional judicial apparatus as a reference to reflect on the production of the powder tattooing on the bodies of favelas dwellers. For the elaboration of the argument, I operate the ideas by Pierre Clastres (2003) about the triple alliance between law, writing and the body and the ideas by Letícia Ferreira (2009) about the bureaucratic trajectory of bodies.

Neste artigo procedo a uma reflexão sobre as práticas corporais mbya guarani que mobilizam a dança e sua relação com a alteridade. Diferencio alguns contextos específicos em que se dança de distintas maneiras, tais como, a opy (casa de reza), as apresentações de corais e danças de xondaro, e os bailes de forró, espaços que mobilizam aldeias e relações entre aldeias. Penso a centralidade de tais práticas nas vidas mbya; meu foco de análise toma tais espaços como arenas das relações com diversos outros, tema central da experiência xamânica.

The following article aims to contribute, albeit in a preliminary way, to the broadening of discussions on Religion, Gender and the Public Sphere in general and, especially, on the forms of configuration of the Islamic religion in contemporary times. Thus, we will consider two scenarios: the French and Brazilian public spheres, while  paying attention to "how" Muslim women in different (inter) national contexts occupy, build and produce their social positions in the public sphere.

Os quilombolas do Alto Trombetas, município de Oriximiná/PA, desde o tempo que se estabeleceram nesta região no início do séc. XIX até os dias de hoje, têm o extrativismo comercial da castanha como a principal modalidade de intercâmbio comercial desenvolvida com os diversos segmentos regionais que habitavam e habitam a região. Atualmente, os castanhais localizados no território dos quilombolas são de usufruto coletivo e para evitar a concorrência muitos extrativistas, através da restrição da transmissão de certos saberes relacionados ao ramo castanheiro, buscam a exclusividade de uso de fragmentos específicos destas florestas. Alguns saberes que muitas vezes concretizam por longo tempo este desejo da exclusividade e que integram os modos locais de conhecer e de se relacionar com os castanhais, são assinalados pelo conceito local denominado entender. Entender uma mata de castanhal se faz pela prática contínua e de longa duração da coleta das amêndoas das castanheiras e das atividades paralelas do extrativismo da castanha como a caça, a pesca e a coleta de outros gêneros vegetais nos mesmos fragmentos florestais. Este artigo busca, através da descrição e análise etnográfica de algumas habilidades constituintes do ramo castanheiro, especialmente dos modos de orientação na floresta, demonstrar como os saberes expressos pelo conceito de entender, se produzem e se atualizam nesta atividade.

This work is based on two investigations carried out in the city of Goiânia (Brazil), both focused on the issue of access to healthcare in the context of the Processo Transexualizador of the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), focusing on the issue of waiting. The first one focused on the narratives of trans men and the second on those of trans women, about their trajectories and the therapeutic itineraries involved in the so-called gender transition. Our argument is that waiting is an important anthropological key to interpreting such narratives. Our interest, then, is to put in dialogue ethnographic elements produced in these investigations, having as main axis a discussion around the ambivalences and tensions that arise in the relationships that such subjects establish with the issue of waiting. In this sense, we are also interested in bringing field elements in order to discuss anthropologically about the effects that heteronormative and cisnormative expectations around gender and life course produce in their bodies and their lives.

This paper deals with the study of split plot design in balanced incomplete blocks in order to increase the usage of such designs in the agricultural research. The mathematical model adopted was the one traditionally used in the complete design. The presence of constant correlation between two subplots of the same plot and the subplots of distinct plots were considered as well. The estimates of the main treatments adjusted by block effects were analogous to those found in the literature of the balanced incomplete block design, while the other estimates were analogous to the correspondent ones in the split plot randomized block design.

As gamba grass (Andropogon gayanus Kunth var. bisquamulatus (Hochst) Hack) is a promising species for raising cattle, this work was carried out to determine weight of dry matter, concentration and accumulation of macronutrients from the 20 th day after germination up to flowering. For this purpose, an area comprising half a hectare of "Terra Roxa Estruturada" at Piracicaba, State of São Paulo, Brazil (latitude 20º41'31"S, longitude 47°38'01" WG, elevation 540m) suitably fertilized, was planted. At intervals of 20 days after germination up to 140 days, plants were collected and subdivided into leaves and stem. The dry matter at 80°C was analysed for N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S. The maximum production of dry matter was checked at 80 days represented by 13.82 g/plant corresponding to 50,000 kg per plant. At the age of 80 days, the following quantities of nutrients were extracted by the grass: 156.85 mg of N; 16.23 mg of P; 278.70 mg of K; 38.45 mg of Ca; 22.92 mg of Mg; 7.76 mg of S. It was found that the concentration of P and K diminished as the age of the plant advanced; the concentrations of N, Ca, Mg and S in the leaves were not affected. In the stem, there was a decrease in N, P, K, Ca and Mg as the age of the plant increased; the concentration of S was not affected.

As gamba grass (Andropogon gayanus Kunth, var. bisquamulatus (Hochst) Hack) to a promising species for raising cattle, this work was carried out to determine concentration and accumulataion of micronutrients from the 20 th day after germination up to flowering. For this purpose, an area comprising half a hectare of "Terra Roxa Estruturada" at Piracicaba, State of São Paulo, Brazil (latitude 20°41'31"S, longitude 47°38' 01" WG, elevation 540m) suitably fertilized, was planted. As intervals of 20 days after germination up to 140 days, plants were collected and sub divided into leaves and stem. The dry matter at 80°C was analysed for B, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn. At the age of 80 days, the following quantities of nutrients were extracted from the grass: 0.15 mg of B; 0.05 mg of Cu; 3.74 mg of Fe; 1.15 mg of Mn and 0.29 mg of Zn. It was found that the concentration of Mn diminished in the leaves as the age of the plant advanced, th concentration of B in the leaves being not affected. In the stem there was a decrease in B, Cu and Fe as the age of the plant increased, the concentrations of Mn and Zn heing not affected.

Andropogon gayanus var. bisquamulatus seed were directly sowed in pots containing finely ground quartz as a substrate and maintened in the greenhouse. The plants received a nutrient solution lacking in phosphorus and in which the following levels of phosphorus were added, in mg/l: 0.0017; 0.007; 0.030; 0.120; 0.480; 1.940; 7.750 and 31.80. The critical level of phosphorus correspondent to the maximum production of dry matter at 75 days was 0.022% and the external level was 0.480 mg of P/l.

An experiment under natural environment conditions was carried out to investigate the effects of ethephon and urea on tassel elongation and apical dominance. Zea mays cv. Piranão VF-2 plants were sprayed 38 days after sowing with ethephon (2-chloroethane phosphonic acid) 500 ppm, ethephon 500 ppm plus urea 2%, ethephon 1,000 ppm, ethephon 1,000 pmm plus urea 2%, ethephon 1,500 ppm, and ethephon 1,500 ppm plus urea 2%. The chemical accelerated tassel elongation as related to the control. Ethephon retarded apical growth and reduced plant height. The height of apical ear was reduced by ethephon or ethephon plus urea. The growth regulator reduced the length of apical internodes of the plants.

Com os teores foliares de N, P e K (+3) obtidos em amostragens sucessivas e a quantidade de chuvas que caem nos 2 meses anteriores, foram calculadas as equações de regressão correspondentes. Em seguida, foi possível determinar o aumento esperado nos níveis de P e K para 200 mm de chuva, dentro de sessenta dias antes da amostragem.

By using data found in the literature it was possible to estimate, through the use of linear regression equations, that a rainfall of 200 mm 2 months before sampling may cause a variation of Mg from 0.0194% to 0.0388% on the leaf, depending on the soil type.

By using data collected from the Brazilian literature, it was possible do derive variation equations which relate the N and P contents of the +3 leaf with the two month period before sampling. For each 200 mm of rain there was an increase in leaf N of 0.17%; for P the variation was 0.02%.
