BARATA, Camille Gouveia Castelo Branco. Care, healing, and resistance: corporeity among Tembé-Tenetehara women (Santa Maria, PA). Etnográfica [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.3, pp.565-581. ISSN 0873-6561.

The article discusses the practices of care and protection of the body against situations of violence among women Tembé-Tenetehara living in the district of Santa Maria do Pará, Brazil. It focuses on the review of relevant bibliography on the issues under research, as well as on narratives considered revealing to a better understanding of the subject. The objectives are (1) to dialogue with the bibliographical repertoire called for the acts and statements of interlocutors, considering anthropological interpretations and the interlocutors’ interpretations as equally valid; (2) to discuss the forms of empowerment, care and resistance of the interlocutors in situations of violence and brutalization of bodies and trajectories. Categories such as pain and terror, and the understanding of social markers of difference under an intersectional perspective structure this overlook upon the ongoing research.

Palabras clave : care; corporeality; Tembé-Tenetehara women.
