Abstract

RUSSI, Adriana  and  KARAM BRUM, Ceres. Under different ceilings: ethnography of houses revealing educational and patrimonial dimensions. Etnográfica [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.3, pp.693-715. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.7484.

The article presents the dialogue between two ethnographies, in which the house is approached as a space of symbolic production. Constructed from distinct ethnographic journeys, its seminal point is the multiplicity of meanings of dwelling for different peoples. The analyzed houses proved to be privileged places of buildings whose territorialized spaces present educational and heritage dimensions of the groups investigated. In this approach, the house/museum Maison du Brésil (residence of brazilian researchers in France) and the house tamiriki of the Katxuyana amerindians (on the banks of the river Cachorro, Oriximiná, PA) evidenced the reinforcement of identity for both brazilians temporarily living in Paris, and the Katxuyana who returned to their territory. These houses also revealed reflections in the field of social memory by triggering recollections for those who inhabit them.

Keywords : house; ethnography; education; architecture; cultural heritage; social memory.
