Abstract

The idea of ​​organizing a publication with the focus of discussion “the house / the houses” was born in 2011, when two of the three organizers were entering the Graduate Program in Social Anthropology at UNICAMP. Patrícia Carvalho Rosa came from her master's degree, at the University of Brasília (UnB), rehearsing reflections on the notion of home from the research experience with her Kaingang interlocution group, in the south of the country. Arriving at UNICAMP to pursue a doctorate in Anthropology, conversations about houses continued to appear. Diego Amoedo Martínez was also approaching anthropological literature, which focused on the house. In this case, his research context is in the rural area of ​​Portugal, where he develops research on socio-territorial transformations. Lucybeth Camargo de Arruda, now a professor at the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA), had been in this “house” for a long time and was writing, at the time, her doctoral thesis in which she discusses the houses created by the Indian Protection Service ( SPI) in the indigenous posts of Mato Grosso as an object of study approached through photographs from the 1940s.
