Título: Os processos de expansão territorial das igrejas evangélicas, pentecostais e neopentecostais, e as mobilizações sociopolíticas Guarani e Kaiowá na reserva indígena Te’yikue e nas retomadas Pindo Roky, Te’yi Juçu e Itagua Autor(es): Martins , Elemir Soare Primeiro Orientador: Mondardo, Marcos Leandro Abstract: This research analyzes the sociopolitical mobilizations of the Guarani and Kaiowá peoples of the Te’yikue Indigenous Reserve, located in the municipality of Caarapó (MS), in the context of the expansion of Evangelical churches and their effects on the reorganization of community, territorial, and spiritual life. The study is based on the understanding that missionary presence in the village is not limited to the religious field, but directly affects the organization of territory, Indigenous schooling, leadership structures, and the Guarani and Kaiowá territorial and ethical geography of teko, tekorã, and tekoha. The investigation is grounded in prolonged fieldwork, including interviews with ñanderu, ñandesy, Indigenous pastors, teachers, community leaders, and youth, as well as participation in community meetings and the analysis of institutional documents, pedagogical projects, and oral records produced in everyday community life. The research seeks to understand how religious practices, disputes over political and religious leadership positions, and institutional mediations are articulated with processes of re-tekoization and reterritorialization, resistance, and the continuity of reko, within a context marked by territorial confinement, religious pluralization, and external pressures from the State and non-Indigenous society. The analysis highlights that the Indigenous school emerges as a strategic space of territorial mediation, where calendars, forms of knowledge, moral discourses, and future projects are negotiated, with the active participation of ñanderu, ñandesy, community members, and Indigenous educators. Although Evangelical churches introduce new forms of sociability and belonging, they also generate tensions with traditional spirituality and collective modes of organizing the tekoha. In this scenario, Guarani and Kaiowá sociopolitical mobilizations are not expressed only through direct confrontation, but also through political, religious, social, cultural, and territorial negotiation strategies. These strategies involve care for collective well-being, mediation of community, family, and institutional conflicts, the strengthening of the word (ñe’ẽ), the defense of territory, and the preservation of ancestral memory. The study concludes that, in Te’yikue, processes of evangelization do not result in mere cultural assimilation, but rather constitute a complex field of disputes, overlaps, and resignifications, in which Indigenous subjects face ongoing challenges to exercise protagonism in the production of their own territorialities and in the affirmation of their political autonomy, identity, language, economic production, territorial governance, Indigenous education, Indigenous school education, and spirituality.

Título: “Tá certo isso?”: Uma etnografia da exploração de trabalhadores Kaiowá em regime de trabalho escravo contemporâneo Autor(es): Motoki, Carolina Falcão Primeiro Orientador: Colman, Rosa Sebastiana Abstract: This dissertation arises from the monitoring of contemporary slave labour cases involving Kaiowá indigenous workers from the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, between 2022 and 2026. It is an ethnography conducted with 65 Kaiowá indigenous workers residing in the Te’yikue village (at Caarapó Indigenous Reserve), and in the retomadas (retaken lands) of Itagua, Te’yijusu and Kunumi Vera, which are contiguous to the reserve. These workers were subjected to slave labour in sugarcane planting on regional farms in 2023. Whilst some were rescued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, others—whom the inspection did not reach—mobilised independently to sue their employers through the Labour Court. The dissertation narrates these workers’ encounters with state agencies and examines the working conditions to which they were subjected, drawing on both state perspectives and the workers’ own accounts. It explores the labour and life relations amongst these workers; the mechanisms of control within work fronts and the roles of gatos com CNPJ (registered labour intermediaries), cabeçantes (crew leaders) and fiscais (supervisors); the organisation of turmas (work gangs) along lines of kinship, neighbourhood and other criteria; and the everyday acts of resistance undertaken to counter exploitation. The research also historicises the formation of the contemporary Kaiowá labour force by the Brazilian State through land expropriation and exploitation across successive agribusiness activities—from yerba mate extraction and forest clearing to pasture formation and sugarcane harvesting. It demonstrates how the State continues to broker indigenous labour for trabalho fora (off-tekoha work), sending workers to southern Brazil to harvest apples. This constitutes an exemplary case of the root causes of slave labour, which remain in full operation today. Editor: Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados Tipo: Dissertação

Título: Um estudo antropológico do processo de construção das identidades das(os) jovens do campo no contexto de suas relações com a cidade no município de Macaubal-SP Autor(es): Machado, Israel Ferreira Primeiro Orientador: Silvestre , Célia Maria Foster Abstract: This master's thesis examines the process of identity construction among rural youth from a is to understand the meanings these young people attribute to youth, to the countryside, and to themselves when they identify as “rural youth” within the context of their relationships with the city. Methodologically, this is an ethnographic study conducted in an urban public school with students from rural backgrounds, aged between 14 and 17. Based on observations of these youths’ daily lives at school and the analysis of narratives they produced—collected through focus groups and interviews—the study seeks to grasp the processes involved in constructing senses of belonging, life projects, and forms of youth identification. By privileging the perspectives of the young people themselves, the research challenges homogenizing and stereotypical interpretations of rural youth. It concludes that the identities of rural youth are neither fixed nor homogeneous; rather, they are dynamically and markably constructed through everyday experiences and interactions between rural and urban worlds. The ways in which these young people perceive themselves as “rural youth” reveal negotiations involving belonging, aspirations, and social recognition, shaped both by structural inequalities and by individual and collective projects. By foregrounding the voices of these youths, the study highlights the importance of recognizing their agency and lived experiences, contributing to broader debates on youth, rural life, and social change in contemporary Brazil.
