No. of bitstreams: 1 Miguel Aparicio.pdf: 2690487 bytes, checksum: cc207b57c5e6d9da4c1a39aedc0eed41 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-02-05 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Amazonas / This research analyses the transformations lived by Suruwaha during the last decades, forming a collective from previous sub-groups , the dawa, which produced a new practice of death by poisoning, connected to the cosmological principles of their shamanism. The analysis about the process of formation of Suruwaha was set in a broader comparison framework with other collectives in the Purus-Juruá interfluve. It is possible to conceive this Arawa social tangle as a dégradée of basic social units, dynamically projected from the Kulina s madiha, the Deni and western Jamamadi s deni, advances through the eastern Jamamadi, Banawa and Jarawara s madi, and goes forward to the Paumari s local groups and Suruwaha s dawa. Oriented by a peculiar socio-cosmology of their territory, these collectives precede constitutively the ethnicities, and form the socio-cultural continuum of an indigenous social network. The constitution of Suruwaha s network aims also to a cosmic connectivity, interacting with non-humans, foreigners, animals, plaints, spirits , shamans and dead. Expanding the connections of this network, the Suruwaha cosmopolitics create an innovative process, so the classic paradigm of producing dead by shamans witchcraft generates a paradigm of producing dead through a ritual of poisoning, consolidated during the last decades: the contemporary Suruwaha becoming preys of timbó . / A pesquisa analisa as transformações que os Suruwaha viveram nas últimas décadas, dando origem a um coletivo a partir de subgrupos anteriores, os dawa, que produziram uma nova prática de morte por envenenamento conectada aos pressupostos cosmológicos do seu xamanismo. A análise do processo de formação dos Suruwaha foi situada num marco mais amplo de comparação com outros coletivos do interflúvio Purus-Juruá. É possível conceber este emaranhado social dos Arawa como um dégradée de unidades sociais básicas, que se projeta dinamicamente dos madiha dos Kulina, os deni dos Jamamadi ocidentais e Deni, avança pelos coletivos madi dos Jamamadi orientais, Banawa, Jarawara e prossegue até os grupos locais Paumari e os dawa dos Suruwaha. Orientados por uma peculiar sociocosmologia do território, estes coletivos precedem constitutivamente às etnias, e formam o continuum sociocultural de uma rede social indígena. A formação da rede suruwaha aponta também para uma conectividade cósmica, de interação com os não-humanos, os estrangeiros, os animais, as plantas, os espíritos , os xamãs e os mortos. Ampliando as conexões desta rede, a cosmopolítica suruwaha deu origem a um processo inovador, em que ao paradigma clássico de produção de mortos pela feitiçaria dos xamãs sucede um paradigma de produção de mortos através de um ritual de envenenamento consolidado nas últimas décadas: os Suruwaha contemporâneos transformados em presas do timbó .

The mythological and Polynesian origins of poi, traditional and contemporary materials and methods used to make poi, early travellers, explorers, and settlers accounts of poi and two case studies on the use of poi in the Taranaki and Te Arawa areas will be included in this thesis. The information will be used to show the changes in poi that have occured since Maori and European arrival to New Zealand until the 1920s.

4	Fragmentation and Restoration: Generational Legacies of 21st Century Māori Malcolm-Buchanan, Vincent Alan January 2009 (has links) The content of this thesis is premised on a reflexive examination of some historical juxtapositions culminating in critical aspects of being Māori in the twenty first century and how such aspects have informed contemporary indigenous identity. That is, the continuing acknowledgement and exponential public recognition of critical concepts which inextricably link indigenous and civic identity. The theoretical sources for this research are, in the main, derived from anthropological and religious studies, particularly on the significance of mythologies and oral histories, as well as from the oral theorising of elders in Aotearoa New Zealand. A very significant contribution from one such elder, a senior Māori woman academic, has been included in the form of the transcript of an interview. She herself had collected the views of a number of elders on myth, creating a rare and valuable resource. In the interview she married her reflections on these with her own experiences and her cogent analyses. From the outset, it was necessary to be discerning so as to ensure the thesis workload was manageable and realistic. For this reason the selected critical aspects that have been used to frame this research are (1) a developing Western validation (that is, acknowledgement and respect) of Māori, Māori culture and their mythology; (2) oral history (genealogy) and traditions that have remained constant despite the influences of modernity; and (3) notions of fluidity, negotiation and pragmatism regarding kinship legacies and cultural heritage. The thesis is comprised of six chapters starting from a subjective narrative leading through increasingly objective discourses that culminate in a conclusion which supports a belief that modern Māori require a balancing of critical aspects of cultural heritage, with a broad understanding of the world of the 'other', in order to realise and develop their contemporary indigenous identity. Ultimately, indigenous ideologies, practices and knowledge recorded and examined in the world of academia today, become potential resources for tomorrow. The intention of this research is to aggregate and discuss intrinsic aspects of the Māori past as well as developing aspects of the present, in order to better understand the significance of the future, and to add to the growing corpus of indigenous worldviews.
