RESUMO

This dissertation deals with the indigenous movement in Brazil after the promulgation of the Constitution of 1988, when a new phase began and significant changes took place in the political and juridical forms of insertion of the indigenous populations into the Brazilian state. It describes and analizes the role of the indigenous movement?s leaders based on the example of indigenous experiences witnessed in the interethnic context of the Vale do Javarí. It discusses the process of creation of the Indigenous Council of the Vale do Javarí (CIVAJA) as an organization active in various events in the history of the indigenous movement. The thesis adopts the notion of network as an analytical instrument, in order to capture the relationships between social actors as multiple rather than unidirectional processes. The creation of indigenous organizations is analyzed as part of the process of definition of intercultural spaces within the Brazilian state. From a perspective of intercultural dialogue, the study moves toward questioning whether the indigenous participation in the governmental public spheres has permitted exchanges between the different systems of meaning, or if it has left the hierarchical predominance of the non-indigenous system in place. Eventually, the dissertation concludes that despite the recognition of ethnic plurality by Brazilian society, means of substantiating that recognition into a concrete organizational principle of the nation-state have not been devised
