  • Seminário GI com Alfonsina Cantore no ICS-ULisboa

    Seminário GI com Alfonsina Cantore no ICS-ULisboa

    No dia 2 de maio, Alfonsina Cantore (CONICET/UNSAMCONICET/UNSAM, Investigadora Visitante ICS e membro do Projecto EDGES fez parte do Seminário do Grupo de Investigação Diversidades. O tema desta sessão foi Dispositivos que fazem ao cuidado da gravidez e o parto de mulheres mbya guaraní.

    A crescente institucionalização do parto está mudando as experiências de gestação e parto das mulheres mbya guarani em Misiones (Argentina). No espaço onde as mulheres frequentam cada vez mais os centros de saúde públicos, incorporam diferentes tecnologias no processo de gestação de maneira gradual e heterogênea. As tecnologias são objetos que ampliam as possibilidades de prática e as mulheres se apropriam delas e lhes dão sentido. Daí a pergunta sobre os pontos de convergência entre as gestantes mbya e as tecnologias. Abordamos este ponto para nos afastarmos das controvérsias sobre a intervenção tecnológica durante a gravidez no polo do negativo, externo e frio, e o parto ‘tradicional ou natural’ como o caloroso e próximo. Também permite discutir que as tecnologias sejam organizadas no ‘mundo moderno’ versus ‘mundo indígena’ e atender às transformações das práticas e das relações sociais e materiais. Assim, as tecnologias vão mudando as formas de experimentar a gravidez e o parto.

    Anfonsina Cantore é Doutora em Antropologia Social e Ciências Sociales pela Universidad de Buenos Aires e a Universidade Federal de Bahía (UBA/UFBA, cotutela). Bolseira do Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas/Universidad de San Martin (CONICET/UNSAM), é especialista em antropologia de género, cuidados, saúde, sexualidade e interculturalidade. A sua investigação foca-se em etnografias com mulheres mbya guaraní em Misiones (Argentina).

    Este curso invita a una exploración crítica de la “historia de la antropología argentina”. El programa está estructurado combinando tres instancias: un recorrido sustantivo y cronológico de los relatos históricos generales sobre la antropologia argentina, un panorama selecto de obras/autores y de comentaristas, reflexiones epistemológicas y metodológicas recientes, junto a una discusión especial acerca del tiempo histórico. A lo largo de estas tres instancias se perfilarán los sentidos y pertinencia de una parahistoria.

    Upcoming Kick-Off Meeting for the EDGES Project: Entangling Indigenous Knowledge in Universities

    We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Kick-Off Meeting for the EDGES project, scheduled to take place from January 29th to January 30th. This inaugural meeting marks the beginning of an exciting journey as we embark on the EDGES project: “Entangling Indigenous Knowledges in Universities.”

    The primary objective of this event is to bring together researchers from various institutions who are part of this groundbreaking project. During the meeting, we will delve into the specifics of Horizon Europe’s Staff Exchanges – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions program. Additionally, we will present and discuss the theoretical aspects and practical challenges inherent to the EDGES proposal, as well as the objectives of each Work Package.

    Moreover, this event presents a unique opportunity to introduce you to the Scientific Committee and Social Advisory Board, crucial pillars of the EDGES project. We will also unveil the communication strategy that will guide our efforts over the next four years as we work to weave indigenous knowledge into the fabric of university education.

    Stay tuned for updates and insights from this event as we set the stage for this ambitious endeavor. We look forward to the collaborative and multidisciplinary work that lies ahead and the positive impact it will have on the integration of indigenous knowledge in universities.
