CORPO, ARTEFATO E MOVIMENTO TÉCNICAS CORPORAIS NA ARTE DE TECER E TRANÇAR ENTRE OS TENETEHAR

Abstract

The research "BODY, ARTIFACT AND MOVEMENT: body techniques in the art of weaving and tracing among the Tenetehar" is an analysis of the movements of weave and braided among the Guajajara/Tenetehar peoples located in the Arariboia Indigenous Land, in the state of Maranhão. The objective of the research was to catalog artifacts woven with wire and braided with fibers and also to observe the body techniques used during the production of such artifacts for the construction of a contemporary dance performance. In this etnográfico research it was possible to identify between the Tenetehar artifacts both woven with yarn and braided by babassu fibers. From this, the cataloguing of body techniques involved in weaving and braiding artifacts was made and as the final process of the research a contemporary dance performance was constructed from the tessitura of the sleeping hammocks. The contemporary dance performance allowed students to dance the body movements cataloged among the Tenetehar realizing the existing cross-cultural diferences.
