Abstract

This work results from a study of the group Mẽbêngôkre Mẽtyktire (Kayapó) in the village Piaraçú, on Indian Land Capoto / Jarina, north of Mato Grosso, central-western Brazil. The focus of analysis is the quotidian lived in that indigenous community, taking into account the dynamics of their regular and constant interpersonal relationships with communities and indigenous and non-indigenous cultures of their surroundings near and far and the underlying sociality in the "being-together". The social interactions are contextualized in a postmodern perspective from the notion proposed by Maffesoli of "sociality" and "tribalism", the theatricality of social life by Erving Goffman and "proxemics" by Edward Hall, as well as cultural exchanges and mixtures by Canclini, Lupo and Gruzinski. The empirical data for this research were collected through ethnographic systematic and unsystematic observations, conducted between May and December 2013, where photos and speeches obtained in individual interviews make up a "show" of the social phenomena as they are. The group in question is presented in its complexity and uniqueness, where your socio cosmological conception guiding the relations with the other while absorbing and reconverts several social and material practices.
