25. Guarani An ethnography of a culture in paraguay whose subsistence was originally based on slashand-burn agriculture. http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/EthnoAtlas/Hmar/Cult_dir/Culture.7843

Society-GUARANI At the time of the first European contacts in the early sixteenth century, the Guarani occupied vast areas of southern Brazil, the neighboring territories of Uruguay and Argentina, and land lying to the east of the Paraguay River in the modern state of Paraguay. The area occupied ranged from lat. 26 degrees-33 degrees S by long. 48 degrees-52 degrees W. The term Guarani has been used in a number of different ways, and this has led to confusion concerning the identification of the Guarani. According to Watson (1952: 18-19), the term Guarani has been used in at least three different ways. First, it has been used to refer to a language spoken by a rather large group of people who inhabited the area first colonized by the Spanish. In a second and related sense, the term has been used to designate a generalized cultural pattern characteristic of the Indians who spoke the Guarani language. The term Guarani is often found in the compound expression Tupi-Guarani, which is also used in the two senses discussed above. The Tupi inhabited the area north of the Guarani in Brazil and were first encountered by Portuguese explorers and colonists. Watson seriously doubts that there ever were any significant differences, linguistically or culturally, between the Tupi and the Guarani. The terminological distinction is merely indicative of the presence of two different European colonial administrations. The third sense in which the term Guarani has been used is to differentiate acculturated from non-acculturated Indians. The missionized Indians became known as Guarani, while those who avoided conversion became known as Cayua or Caingua, a name which roughly translates as "men of the forest." The Cayua are also speakers of the Guarani language. In the sense that Guarani signifies a vaguely-defined group of acculturated Indians (including Mestizos), the entire rural population of Paraguay is often referred to as Guarani (Metraux 1948: 69). There are several other factors that contribute to the confusion in nomenclature and classification. Although the Guarani-speakers all shared a generalized cultural pattern, they were divided into many small local groups or bands. These bands were often named for their chiefs or for the localities they inhabited. Hence, over the 400 years in which people have been writing about the Guarani, many names have been used either as alternatives to Guarani or to indicate subgroups, with their exact status and relationship to each other unclear. Anthropologists and others who have studied the Guarani have each studied slightly different groups inhabiting slightly different territories. Each of these writers has constructed his or her own model of who the Guarani are and how they are subdivided. In this description, the example set by Metraux and Watson will be followed, i.e, using the term "Cayua" to refer to the Guarani who were not missionized and who have been subject to a minimal amount of acculturation. At the present time, these Cayua live in small reservations or villages under government supervision and protection in isolated areas of southern Brazil and Paraguay. Population figures are extremely difficult to find for the Guarani, and they are usually in the form of rough estimates. The estimate of the Brazilian Cayua population as of 1943 was between 2,000 and 4,000 individuals. Aboriginally, subsistence was based on slash-and-burn agriculture. The principal crops were manioc, maize, sweet potatoes, beans, squash, peanuts, cara (Dioscorea sp.), mangara (Aroidea sp.), mbakuku (a leguminosea), watermelons, bananas, pineapples, and papaya. This diet was supplemented by hunting, limited fishing, and gathering. Men did the hunting and fishing and were responsible for the initial clearing activities in agriculture. The actual cultivation was left to the women. The most important economic unit was the extended family. This group owned the agricultural fields and worked them communally. The extended family was also the most important residential and social unit. They lived in a longhouse known as a tapui. Tapui were often located at some distance from each other, which gave some early chroniclers the impression that each tapui was a separate "tribe." Territorial organization beyond the tapui is unclear. According to Watson, each tapui was ruled by an old man, and the extended family was probably patrilineal and patrilocal (1952: 33). Schaden, however, points out that the bilateral kindred was also important, and that the Cayua also practiced matrilocality (1962: 94, 137). Although the identity and the responsibilities of the headman are uncertain, it seems clear that the shaman exercised a great deal of supernatural and secular influence. Every person, both male and female, had a certain degree of knowledge about medicine, magic, and withcraft, but the shamans had familiar spirits, and their duties involved rainmaking, divination, curing, and ceremonial leadership. The secular power and importance of the shamans may have increased after White contact, particularly in response to the intense missionary activity conducted by the Jesuits. During the nineteenth century, there were numerous revivalistic and messianic movements instigated and led by shamans. Although the Cayua are relatively unacculturated, there have been important changes in their way of life. The most significant of these have been in technology, economic sex roles, and the shift of emphasis to the nuclear family. The tapui has almost entirely disappeared, and nuclear families now live in single-family dwellings. However, related families still tend to locate their dwellings near each other, approximating what would have been a tapui group in former times. The Cayua continue to subsist by agriculture, hunting, and fishing. In recent times, however, hunting and fishing have decreased in importance, and men have become much more active in agriculture. Both men and women are now described as being primarily agriculturalists. Changa, a kind of wage labor in exchange for White trade goods, is practiced by a few Cayua. Politically, the Cayua are now under the administration of the government, and village officials are appointed by the administrators in charge of the area. The basic orienting source to the culture is Metraux (1948), which is a general cultural summary based on a wide range of secondary source material, including many early historical documents. It portrays what may be characterized as the mythical, pure, traditional Guarani, who exist in the timeless ethnographic present. The spatial focus here is on the Cayua of southern Brazil. Although field dates range from 1943 to 1962, large amounts of material have been derived from secondary sources, covering a 400-year time span. Culture summary by Marlene M. Martin and John M.

The vast majority of inhabitants are native Paraguayans, who are almost all mestizo (a mixture of Spanish and Indian). They pride themselves on their Guaraní descent, although the admixture of European strains is prominent. About 300,000 Brazilians, many of them small farmers, arrived in eastern Paraguay in the 1970s, because land in Paraguay was cheaper than in Brazil. Other immigrants have come from western Europe, particularly Germany, Italy, and Spain, and from Japan, Korea, China (Hong Kong), and Taiwan.

April 10, 2003 3:57 PM Geography and Climate Paraguay is predominantly rural, and its countryside is dotted with medium-sized cities (5,000-25,000) and small farming communities (50-200 families). It is also a country of extremes: wealth and poverty; immense ranches and tiny subsistence farms; hot, humid summers and winter nights which drop to near-freezing temperatures. Few houses have heating or air-conditioning, although electricity is becoming common in even the more rural areas. There are few paved roads linking the cities and towns of the interior. Most roads in rural areas are either graded or unimproved dirt roads. While bus service to almost all communities is both inexpensive and adequate, heavy rains may frequently close the dirt roads to traffic. Economy and Government Since a military coup in 1989, Paraguay has been undergoing an exciting process of democratization after decades of military dictatorship. Open elections, liberalization of the press, and public debates of the issues have created an atmosphere of enthusiasm for change. In May 1993, Paraguay elected its first non-military president in 40 years. In another landmark election in May 1998, Paraguay voted to pass the presidency from one civilian government to another. In March of 1999, the assassination of the Vice President led to the resignation of the new President and, in spite of threats of a constitutional crisis, the presidency passed to the President of the Senate as mandated by the constitution. This encouraging event, together with other recent political changes have brought not only a hope of a maturing democratic process, but a restructuring of public agencies to increase their efficiency.

I come from Paraguay, a land-locked South American country. One of the main particularities of my country lies in its language. The Guarani is an aboriginal language that remains intact in today's Paraguayan society. In the days of internet Paraguayans still chat in Guarani quite more often than in Spanish. (Both are official Languages) and every day life they are mixed in a sort of slang that we call Jopara (that in guarani means Mix). It is a country of futbaalholics. The country will stop when the world cup starts. What 3 things do you value most? Family, friends, personal happiness How will you follow the World Cup? From a black and white TV in my university hall room and when it comes to England matches, I won't miss the chance to see it with a lager in a very traditional London Pub.

Both sides played an open game and players in both teams showed respect for their opponents. But it was Spain who clobbered South Africa 3-0. Though the game ended 3-2. However, had Slovenia played a better game against Paraguay, South Africa would have gone through to the quarter-finals. The nation is now preparing for the next World Cup in 2006. Many of the present players are still young and in their early 20s. They would be around the second time around. This was not a bad performance by South Africa, bearing in mind that this was only their second World Cup involvement. In Cape Town hundreds of fans took to pubs and watched the game played on Wednesday. In Johannesburg 1000s more watched the game on a big screen in the city, where they responded to every moment of the game. In prisons all over the country, even hardcore prisoners gathered to witness their nation play on the world stage.
