RITUAL YRERUA E LINGUAGEM CORPORAL: UM ESTUDO NA COMUNIDADE INDÍGENA URU EU WAU WAU

Abstract

This dissertation aims to interpret the body language of the Indians, members of Yrerua ritual, from the emotional expressions, linked to psychological and physical environment, allowing us to identify these symbolic elements in body image in a context that gives us a historical perspective as well as a psychological sense. The first chapter addresses the history of the Uru Eu Wau Wau community and the ancient Tupi trunk, investigating the concept of the sacred in Yrerua ritual. The second chapter raises an interpretative analysis of the listener, a member of Yrerua ritual in order to further analyze the theoretical assumption based on the circular dance and its symbolism in tribal cultures. The third chapter is concentrated on situations where the speakers are located. In search of the answer to this question, it proposes a methodological theoretical framework that investigates forms of movement with forms of expression and ways of expression with forms of movement, aiming to analyze how this phenomenon is related to the emotions triggered by the observable psychophysical state. In conclusion, in this tribal society, the way of life comes from the supernatural that conceives the human being as part of a whole attached inside its center that comes in contact with the personal and collective myth that can be considered archetypal.
