Entre vivências & narrativas de Jarýi: parteiras de Amambai/MS e AIS do Posto de Saúde Bororó II/MS

Abstract

This present dissertation is an ethnography that presents like common thread the categories of the “inter-medicality” and the “inter-culturally”. Both emerge from the contact that I stablished, from one side, with the Indigenous health agent (IAH) from the free health centre Bororó II, from Dourados/MS’ indigenous land. On the other hand, with some living and narratives of grandmother women (jarýi) from Amambai/MS’ indigenous land, that in condition of midwifery (or not) are expert about the pregnancy and childbirth care. Beyond the contact with the IAH, jarýi and midwifes, from the free health centre Bororó II, from Dourados’ IL and from Amambai’s IL, I take the reader to walk along the main legislation that make visible (or not) the indigenous and how they are seen, including about the health issue.
