  • Birthing, corporality and care among the Guarani-Mbyá of southern Brazil Maria Paula Prates Antropología Mbyá Guarani Corporeality Delivery and Birth Epistemologies of care In this paper I draw attention to the happening of childbirth among the Guarani-Mbyá women. I highlight the centrality of a care language in the act of birth and of being born supported by the production of human bodies and kin. From Yva deliveries’ stories I explore the connection between silences, bodies and human and non-human socialities by interweaving it with native modes of care and a critical analysis of the medicalization of birth derived from the relationship with the “Juruá (“white”) system”. I emphasize a non-reductive understanding of life and health in the translation of epistelomogies of care between indigenous and biomedical sociocosmologies. The data presented are results from a long-term ethnographic research carried out among guarani-mbyá collectives of the southern Brazil. 2021 editorial 1809-4341 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406969792003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792003/406969792003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792003/movil 10.1590/1809-43412021v18a501 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4069 VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Antropologia VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology (Brasil) Vol.18
