Thinking about the body-territory means understanding the relations between violence against women's bodies and the processes of expropriation and destruction of territories within the capitalist system. This dissertation sought to engage with the struggle and resistance of Kaiowá and Guarani women, which present themselves as a proposal for the reconstruction of worlds. Therefore, we sought to understand the roots of the violence involving Kaiowá and Guarani women and their responses of resistance to the death project carried out by the State and its agencies, as well as by latifundium in Mato Grosso do Sul. In the aforementioned state, a context of discrimination, exclusion, punitivism, and violence against indigenous peoples persists, constructing a daily reality of tragedies and destruction. To conduct this research, we drew on decolonial and intersectional perspectives that that contribuited to a better understanding of the consequences of colonialism, Eurocentrism, and modernity on Kaiowá and Guarani women. In addition, we engaged with literature situated in Mato Grosso do Sul that address the Kaiowá and Guarani peoples, as well as documents produced by the women's movement through the Kuñangue Aty Guasu, along with dialogue with the research's interlocutors. Kaiowá and Guarani resistance has been led by women, who raise their voices to denounce violence and build bridges between walls.

Natives from the Bororo Village, the guarani and kaiowa rappers report with their verses the daily violence that perpass traditional lands and reservations, like the robbery of territories by the agrobusiness, the racism which targets them in the city, the State repression and religious intolerance throughout their communities. Reaching international success, the Brô MC’s were influential to posterior indigenous artists and groups of the RID to search in rap a form of expression, fight and political tool, referring to the daily life hassles experienced by young indigenous. Carrying the task of uniting their search for influence and success while artists to the recognition and respect while natives upfront the older indigenous, the Brô MC’s solidify the rap as an reinvention of the traditional practice of singing from their ancestors, the older generations. In this piece of work, I aim at the discussion of, other than the aspects cited above, the investigation of a second hypothesis: a possible relation between the chant and dance practiced by the elder, the chant and dance reinvented by the youth, and how both articulate with political actions and movements from the Guarani and Kaiowa, working as an alternative knowledge circulation tool in relation to the traditional practices, serving as a way of access to the youth and giving form to a generational bridge between the youth and the elder, allowing in some way the survival of traditions. While the elder make politics from the chant with the dead and the Jara, the younger ones do politics from the chant with the living, particularly with the indigenous youth. The rap and hip hop emerge as a new way of bringing transformations to their reality, at the same time valuing the demands and preservation of the traditional ways of living, demonstrating their importance as a generation which owns emergents languages and technology that reinvent the practice of the chanted word, exerting as young indigenous the function of messengers and sustainers of the traditional knowledge from the elder, putting themselves as protagonists of their own way of doing politics, made by the indigenous people, and for the indigenous people.

Grounded in anthropological frameworks and drawing on Foucauldian and Butlerian perspectives, the research centers on the lived experiences of these teacher-mothers as they negotiate the interplay between professional and personal responsibilities within prevailing power relations. The findings highlight the challenges exacerbated in the post-pandemic period, yet they also reveal the interlocutors' capacity to construct forms of (re)existence within the spaces they inhabit, despite existing constraints.

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.
