Description: Documentation Project of the mythology and history of the Mbya (in Southern Brazil), funded by the EDLP between 2022 and 2024. The work is a collaboration of the anthropologist Gustavo Godoy and the Mbya people (especially from the Takuaty village, Paranaguá, Paraná). The project counts on the association of consultants and researchers who speak the language in question, especially Juliana Kerexu Mirĩ. The emphasis of the deposit is the mythological heritage, biographical accounts, and historical reports, especially the Jesuit heritage. But the collection also includes texts about topics associated with or cited in the myths, as well as other genres such as chants, recordings of rituals, ethnographic interviews, etc. Audiovisual recordings emphasize the importance of documenting the gesticulations that occur together with speech and make up the narrative event. In the present proposal, the gesture is understood as an integral part of the language. The proposal aims to study the gestural inventory and gesture-speech units in Mbya, and archive their mythical corpus.
