Abstract

VIRGILIO, Jefferson. Laklãnõ ethnonymy: beyond etic readings. Etnográfica [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1, pp.5-25.  Epub Apr 28, 2023. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.12796.

The proposal seeks to synthesize the ethnonymy present in the bibliographic production that mentions or that has been produced on the indigenous population presently known as Laklãnõ. The main time frame begins at the start of the 19th century, and may mention some previous works, and it is concluded with the most recent publications. The survey is not complete and seeks to encourage the exhaustion of the bibliography in order to allow a better understanding of the ethnonimological evolution that was promoted against this population in the last two centuries. The material revisits the justifications and allegories that were made on some ethnonyms trying to map the continuities, discontinuities, coherences and incoherences present in these discourses.

Keywords : Laklãnõ; Xokleng; ethnonymy; indigenous ethnology; meridional Ge Indians.
