Abstract(s)
O autor expõe as hipóteses que testou no trabalho
de campo que efectuou entre grupos de Mapuche do
sul do Vale Central chileno: os grupos locais têm teorias
derivadas de práticas pragmáticas do seu viver e
herdadas da memória social oral, complexas e sistematizadas
que conformam o processo de prevenção e
cura; para as entender há que conhecer as condições
naturais, sociais e históricas que enquadram as pessoas
que reproduzem ideias e práticas ancestrais; a deficiente
comunicação entre os representantes da ciência
médica ocidental e os membros daqueles grupos radica
na ignorância dos primeiros relativamente ao conhecimento
que os segundos têm do seu mundo, do seu
corpo e do trabalho deste como tecnologia social.
The author presents the hipothesis tested in his fieldwork among the Mapuche, in the south of the Central Valley of Chile: local groups sisthematize their daily life in theories and practices, rather abstracts, idealistics and complexes; it orientates their process of preventing sickness and of curing diseases; in order to understand this process it is necessary to know their natural, social and historical conditions that surrounds their ancestors’ ideas and practices; there is a poor comunication bctween physicians and the Mapuche; physicians ignore thc theoretical construction of the Mapuche as well the Mapuche do not understand physicians’western theory.
