Accepted Paper:

The dialogue between indigenous youth and the anthropologists  
Maria Beldi de Alcantara (University of Sao Paulo)

Paper short abstract:

This paper aims to present how the indigenous people, mainly youth, represents the role of anthropologist when they are inside of their 'habitat'.

Paper long abstract:

This work aims to present how the anthropologists works are represented from the indigenous point of view, when the Anthropologists are inside of Reservations. We know the methodology and theory about the role of Anthropologist are widely discussed, since 60. This work presents the problematic about the role of anthropologist when his/her woks with the indigenous youth with the themes suicide and violence. Those themes are very delicate and need to construct a "kind" of new methodology those are constructs every day with them. This kind of work has to have plenty of complicity from both side-indigenous youth and anthropologist. But how to build this proposal? How to build the theory from results from this methodology?

Those are the problems we are discussing to try to build some kind of symmetrical dialogue between indigenous youth and anthropologists.
