This dissertation focuses on the cosmovisions of the enchanted and the practice of
enchantment in a Tambor de Mina on the outskirts of Belém, seeking to understand how its
practitioners, young trans/travestite artists, have articulated this cosmos with issues of sexual
and gender dissidence, in order to think about the body, the city and the retaking of
Afro-indigenous epistemics. Thus, based on the experiences of these subjects, I seek to
identify, at the intersection of spirituality, art and religiosity, memories, reflections and
nominations that bring forth images and imaginaries of the enchanted in the elaboration of
their subjectivities, and processes of self-affirmation of identity, imbricated with notions of
belonging, the city, Afro-indigenous ancestry, defense of the material and immaterial territory
of the Amazon, and processes of healing against the colonial project. In an approach that
privileges the analysis of the ethnographic context and the speeches of these subjects based on
the problematization between transgenderism/travesty and spirituality, this research is
dedicated to understanding how the enchanted and the practice of enchantment produce
meaning for their practitioners, collaborating for their individual and community
emancipation in the production of the debate on gender, sexuality and race, from the Amazon
as well as the mobilization of the arts as an aesthetic tool for the flow of this knowledge. The
intention is to give intelligibility to ways of producing knowledge by recognizing the
thought-making of these subjects and their contributions to the construction of Brazilian
identity, on bodies overflowing with sexuality and gender.

Helena Ignez, the character Jarda Ícone, and Joy Is the Acid Test, a 2023 film, are the central themes of this research, which explores, within the interstices of anthropology and cinema, ways of producing knowledge. Based on conversations with Helena Ignez and people connected to her work, as well as the realization of the film exhibition À Luz de Helena - Helena Ignez no cinema brasileiro (In the Light of Helena - Helena Ignez in Brazilian Cinema), the dissertation connects how images, curatorial and creative practices can activate relationships, memories, temporalities, and contexts. Methodologically, my work articulates ethnographic writing and montage as an analytical principle, where extracts and coincidences are fundamental. Thus, cinema is not merely an object of research, but a relational field. The dissertation contributes to debates on the creation of anthropological fields, cinematic refuges, image-landscapes, authorship disputes, and performance. This research aims to reflect on the work of Helena Ignez in light of anthropological theory. Whether films, anthropologies, or ethnographies, each has its own way of expressing things.

In 2025, The land-without-evil: tupi-guarani prophetism (1975), essay on a religious-migratory complex written by the French ethnologist Hélène Clastres, completes 50 years since its first publication in France. When the book crossed the Atlantic, – whether through its translation in 1978 or in the baggage of Brazilian intellectuals and anthropologists who had graduated from French universities – the national indigenous ethnology was undergoing significant transformations. H. Clastres’s essay quickly entered this context as an important contribution, renewing Tupi-Guarani studies through a refreshed analytical perspective. By cataloguing the materials available in the Biblioteca Digital Curt Nimuendajú published in the firth 15 years after The land-without-evil (1975-1990), one can glimpse the essay’s reception within the Brazilian ethnology. It is concluded that, despite the reservations, Brazilian anthropologists were able to take advantage of the ethnological hypotheses contained in the book, something quite different from what occurred in Paraguay, a country where the Frech anthropologist had one of her ethnographic experiences with indigenous peoples, but which received harsh criticism.

This dissertation investigates the sonic experience in the commercial center of Avenida Sete de Setembro, Salvador/BA, under the initial question that sound is a driving agent of practices and sociabilities. The study aimed to apprehend urban sounds and understand the relationships they promote among people, capturing everyday practices (announcements, music, voices) and the role of technological devices (speakers and microphones) in the avenue's dynamics. To achieve this, a sonic ethnography was conducted using techniques such as soundwalks, listening points, and participant observation to follow the sounds. The results of this research demonstrate that sound emerges as a protagonist, essential for the territorialization, occupation, and appropriation of public space, and manifests as a strategy for survival and the affirmation of Bahia sonic culture. It is concluded that the sound of Avenida Sete is a complex fabric of multiple sonic territorialities in constant negotiation, propelling the right to cohabit and lead an urban life on the avenue, which is presented through a sound map and a playlist of music heard on the avenue as ethnographic contributions that go beyond writing.
