%0 Journal Article %T Auto-Representa o Ind¨ªgena na Escrita Etnogr¨¢fica: elementos te¨®ricos para a considera o da intertextualidade etnogr¨¢fica %A Cristhian Te¨®filo da Silva %J Campos - Revista de Antropologia Social %D 2008 %I Universidade Federal do Paran¨¢ %X This work focuses indigenous self-representations in ethnographic writing and debates on how the process of pprehension/representation of others¡¯ cultural difference can be viewed. It also interrogates the extent to which anthropology, anthropologists and its techniques are thought of and used by native interlocutors to express themselves as singular individuals to restrict or wider audiences. The emphasized argument is that anthropologists do not register in their ethnographies a previous native culture which is verbalized by the native interlocutor, but a dynamic dialogical culture, renewed during the ethnographic encounter. For the development of the argument the article debates Marcel Mauss, Maurice Leenhardt and Roberto Cardoso de Oliveira¡¯s approaches to the notions of ¡°person¡± and ¡°self¡±. The work is concluded with the analysis of a speech registered during fieldwork that illustrates how ethnographies can be mediatized for indigenous self-representation. %K ethnographic writing %K self-representation %K identity %K intertextuality %U http://ojs.c3sl.ufpr.br/ojs2/index.php/campos/article/view/13869/9352
