It focuses on their techniques and experiences in preparing food characteristic of the rural area of that region, as well as on the relations of exchange and commensality developed around its production and circulation. These practices include animal husbandry, small-scale farming, manioc flour production ("Farinhada"), and religious and leisure events, which are traditional elements of peasant life in rural Ceará.

The purpose of the study is to present the stories of these interviewees, understanding their processes of identification as transgender men, as well as their life trajectories, family relationships, and experiences with health care systems. Based on these assumptions, theories about gender, transmasculinities, transsexuality, and this population's access to healthcare systems allow for interaction with empirical research, assisting in reflections and repercussions of anthropological knowledge. Therefore, this investigation arises from the possibility of interaction in communication systems that transmit digital information. To make this study feasible, digital anthropology will be used, combined with narrative and oral history techniques. Additionally, emphasis is given to the contributions of the interlocutors who, through their statements, contributed to the expansion of the themes analyzed and to a more profound understanding through their personal accounts in reflections on transmasculinities in social contexts. It is hoped that the research will provide new perspectives on knowledge, promote reflection, and pave the way for new tactics on the topics covered in the text.

Le Guin Autor(es): Dias, Ana Luiza da Silva Abstract: This dissertation discusses the possible interlocutions between Anthropology and Science Fiction, focusing on the book “The Word for World is Forest”, by the American writer Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018). To carry out this investigation, I mapped and analyzed academic works that connect science fiction studies with anthropological discussions. Throughout this mapping, as I searched for theoretical links between science fiction and Anthropology, the recurrence of references to and analyses of this writer’s literary works became evident. The justification commonly offered by these authors is that her family context influenced her writing and the creation of the fictional worlds she developed over her career – Le Guin was the daughter of Alfred Kroeber (1876-1960), an anthropologist and founder of the Anthropology Department at Berkeley, California, in the early twentieth century. Due to this proximity to the discipline – although the writer herself contested such influence – some authors have argued that her science fiction works could be characterized as exercises in “speculative anthropology”: that is, by speculating about the future, Ursula K. Le Guin composes futuristic settings and cultures with an attention similar to that of an anthropologist producing an ethnography, attending to aspects such as culture, biology, politics, gender issues, and so on. In order to narrow the scope of this research to a single literary work by Le Guin, I selected the 1972 novella “The Word for World is Forest” as the object of analysis, since it brings together themes central to Anthropology, such as issues related to colonialism, violent encounters between alterities, and the human (dis)connection with nature. Among these themes, I chose to relate to anthropological discussions the importance of dreaming both for the constitution of the Athshean Dreamer as an individual and for political practice, as well as the conflicts that arise from the actions of an anthropologist in the field within a colonial context. Methodologically, I gathered literature that explores the dialogues between Anthropology and Science Fiction, emphasizing works that analyze Ursula K. Le Guin’s writings, and I sought classical contributions that could offer theoretical support for the discussions proposed through the reading of the book.

The work contextualizes the heritage processes promoted by the Brazilian State since the Federal Constitution of 1988, critically analyzing the historical transition of preservation policies and the persistence of gaps in the recognition of black heritage. The central issue guiding the investigation questions whether, in a context where cultural heritage is polysemic and permeated by symbolic power struggles, the current criteria and procedures for listing and registration are sufficient and adequate for the effective protection of Quilombola cultural assets. The methodology adopted is ethnography, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches for data production and analysis, developed through fieldwork carried out between April 2024 and October 2025. Participant observation techniques and semi-structured interviews with community leaders and residents were used. The overall objective is to understand the configuration of the cultural heritage of Quilombo da Base, articulating the specific objectives: I - to analyze heritage legislation aimed at the Afro-Brazilian segment; II - to understand the sociocultural elements that characterize local identity; III - to contribute to the cataloging of community assets.
