História e produção da escrita entre os xakriabá e os pataxoop de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This paper analyzes recent processes of production of written materials among the Xakriabá and the Pataxoop (MG), whose products have taken different formats, seeking to stress central aspects that outline the characteristics of the content and the final form of the editorial product. Both are indigenous peoples who have Portuguese as their mother tongue. The case of the Pataxoop illustrates an original reworking of writing in association with other expressive forms, such as singing and drawing. The case of the Xakriabá reveals the use of writing inserted in the process of elaboration on the history of struggle, with a negotiated collective authorship procedure in which memory enters into a cross exercise of academic and political meaning and with epistemological implications.
