A tese concentra-se no período que vai de 1940 até 1970; porém, na análise adota-se uma perspetiva histórica de larga duração que me permite explicar com maior profundidade, os fenômenos institucionais e sociais estudados. Junto ao nacionalismo, analiso o impacto que teve o processo de modernização, o qual se traduziu na implementação de um conjunto de técnicas e medidas institucionais orientadas por iniciativas políticas que visaram o desenvolvimento. Estes «pacotes desenvolvimentistas» foram dirigidos à reorganização sociocultural e econômica das populações indígenas. A estrutura educativa e a relação entre saberes científicos e práticas administrativas são analisadas ao longo da tese visando entender o papel que esses processos tiveram na construção das agências indigenistas de cada país. Da mesma forma, são estudados os processos concomitantes de reforço do nacionalismo e da formação de quadros de profissionais e especialistas. Em função disto, são analisadas as práticas administrativas dos «sertanistas», dos «professores rurais», dos «promotores indígenas» e dos «antropólogos», tentando entender, tanto a construção dessas categorias quanto também sua incorporação dentro das lógicas institucionais indigenistas. Finalmente, a tese aborda o desenvolvimento dos «projetos cívico morais» que serviram de plataforma para a afirmação dos discursos nacionalistas nas comunidades indígenas. Na tese é analisada a difusão desses projetos «cívico morais» e a criação de formas de representação socioculturais através de distintas mídias, como a fotografia e os curta-metragens / Abstract: This research seeks to analyze the processes of construction of nationalism and the way in which the indigenous populations of two national States of Latin America, Brazil and Mexico, where articulated into these processes. The focus of the study is a period 1940-1970; however, in order to achieve a greater depth in the explanation of the institutional and social phenomena, many times I adopt a wider historical perspective. Beside nationalism, I analyze the impact that the modernization process had. This modernization process, that ended to be a set of institutional techniques and measures oriented by political initiatives aiming development ¿known as ¿developmental packages¿¿, were addressed to the socio-cultural and economic reorganization of the indigenous populations. The educational structure of that period and the relationship between scientific knowledges and administrative practices are discussed here, sighting a better understanding of the roll of these processes in the construction of the indigenist agencies in each country. In the same spirit, two concomitant processes, that of reinforcement of nationalism and that of formation of professional staff and specialists, are studied too. In relation to this, the administrative practices of ¿sertanistas¿, of ¿rural teachers¿, of ¿promotores indigenas¿ and of ¿anthropologists¿ are also analyzed. The aim is to understand how these categories have been constructed and how they have been incorporated into indigenous institutional logics. Finally, this study explores the development of the ¿moral-civic projects¿ that served as a base for the affirmation of the nationalist discourses at the indigenous communities. The diffusion of these ¿moral-civic projects¿ and the creation of socio-cultural forms of representation through different media, as photography and documentary films, are as well analyzed. / Doutorado / Doutor em Antropologia Social

PhD Thesis Summary: Imagining the West: Marginality and Possible Lives at the Outskirts of a Mexican City Mgr. Marie Heřmanová The thesis aims to develop various results of a long-term fieldwork in the city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, México, where rural-urban migration was pervasive since the 1960s. The research concentrated on the second generation of Tzotzil and Tzeltal migrants living at the suburbs of the city. Young indigenous people, whose parents came to the city to seek jobs, are now completely bilingual (they speak their maternal language - mostly Tzotzil as well as spanish they have learned in the school in the city). They mostly work in the same areas as the first generation migrants - as shop-keepers, souvenirs sellers or street-food vendors. They are thus in everyday interaction with both tourist and expats in the city centre. These interactions and meetings are in the context of the thesis seen as a consitutive element to imageries of mobility, modernity and Western lifestyles developed by the the young indigenous people from the suburbs. The concept if "Imaginary West" (Yurchak 2005) is central in the thesis, an unseen and yet ever-present homeland of the tourists and most importantly a place where "better lives" happen. The text explores how the search for...
