I28-R145-11883_oai2024-03-05 Almeida , María Regina Celestino de 2008-12-01 Historians and anthropologists have been developing new concepts and theories about the mixing process of Indians in America which allow us to think that identities are plural and that ethnic classifications are historical constructions that have specific meanings according to regions, spaces and social agents in contact. This paper presents a discussion about these meanings, emphasizing the aims of Rio de Janeiro village’s indians, taking into account their relations with other ethnic and social groups with whom they used to interact. The period focused extends specially from Pombal’s reforms to the 19th Century, when the disputes about ethnic classifications comes up more clearly in the sources: while political authorities and intellectuals state mixed condition and dispersion of indian’s villages, these ones argued for collective rights based on their indigenous identities. These disputes about indigenous peoples’classification on different categories can be seen as political and social disputes, which must be associated with land conflicts and indigenous policy... As novas proposições teóricas e conceituais da História e da Antropologia sobre os processos de mestiçagem da América têm conduzido à idéia de identidades plurais e à percepção de que as categorias étnicas são historicamente construídas e adquirem significados distintos conforme os tempos, os espaços e os agentes sociais em contato. Este trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre esses significados enfocando especialmente os interesses dos índios aldeados do Rio de Janeiro em suas relações com os demais grupos étnicos e sociais com os quais interagiam. Prioriza-se o período das reformas pombalinas ao século XIX, quando as disputas em torno dessas classificações tornaram-se mais visíveis na documentação: enquanto autoridades políticas e intelectuais afirmavam a condição de mistura e dispersão dos índios aldeados, estes últimos reivindicavam direitos com base na identidade indígena. Essas disputas por classificações étnicas são vistas como disputas políticas e sociais que não se dissociavam dos conflitos em torno das terras das aldeias e das políticas indigenistas... application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/11883 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
