GHIGGI JUNIOR, Ari. Trajectories and Articulations of a Kaingang Healer in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil.Traduzido porJuana Valentina Nieto Moreno, Mauricio Pardo Rojas. Desacatos [online]. 2018, n.58, pp.34-49. ISSN 2448-5144.
This text is a reflection on medical pluralism based on ethnography around the agencies oriented towards the offer of therapeutic practices by an indigenous Kaingang in the western region of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. His life trajectory shows the contact with a diversity of actors and medical traditions that result in a set of practices used in diagnoses and in action against the most diverse diseases. The result is an extremely dynamic activity, marked by the hybridism in a specific situation of intermedicality. The offer of these treatments to the neighboring populations aims for exchange relations and sociability that results in monetary income as a survival strategy.
