Resumo Este artigo se propõe a explorar o fenômeno das intensas interações entre grafismos rupestres, valendo-se da interlocução teórica entre Arqueologia e Etnologia indígena brasileiras. As interações em painéis rupestres são aqui analisadas em duas regiões de Minas Gerais: o Vale do Rio Peruaçu e Diamantina, áreas de pesquisa da equipe do Setor de Arqueologia do Museu de História Natural e Jardim Botânico da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), enfatizando-se a primeira. Em ambas, há numerosíssimos casos de interações, quando novas pinturas (ou gravuras) são compostas em painéis que já estavam pintados (e/ou gravados). A interlocução com a Etnologia que aqui se faz tem como foco algumas das noções centrais apresentadas nos trabalhos etnográficos e nas sínteses etnológicas sobre sociedades ameríndias, sobretudo o caráter intensamente relacional de suas cosmologias e suas concepções sobre agência de não humanos. A proposta central, a partir do estudo dos acervos gráficos dessas duas regiões de Minas Gerais, é pensar a relação como elemento crucial da prática de pintar paredes rochosas já pintadas, relação essa em que pessoas e pinturas são, ambas, sujeitos.

The article discusses the idea of the existence of a pre-colonial aesthetics of the American territory, based on the great geographic distribution of a same cosmological substrate. Its material expression would be the different classes of archaeological objects involved in ritual. The concept that guides this discussion is the Amerindian perspectivism. Originally formulated to deal with the singularity of the Amazonian indigenous thought, working on the symbolic relationship between the humanity and other beings, this concept with a Pan-American distribution is recognized by the ethnographies, the myths, and the representations in the iconography of artifacts revealed by Archaeology, particularly those that shows bodies in the state of transformation. These artistic representations of Amazonian, Andean and the North American Northwestern Coast pre-colonial objects are considered part of the systems of thought and social organization. They make it possible to recognize a mythological and cosmological unity in Amerindian world that goes beyond social morphologies and political structures.

The article takes the publication, in 2009, of The Sage Handbook of Tourism Studies and The Sociology of Tourism: European Origins and Developments - two anthologies that review how tourism has been studied in the social sciences - as an opportunity to discuss the traditions represented and defended in each of these books, namely: a transatlantic Anglophone tradition, and a European continental one. Some of the main tendencies are identified, so as to propose, in the end, the "rematerialization" of tourism studies through the adoption of a local point of view that focuses on the practices, but is also sensitive to the asymmetries that are visible (or not) from the ground.

In this article I refer to three episodes that occurred during my fieldwork in the Portuguese-Galician border (2000-2004). On the one hand I reflect globally on ethnography as a social and an individual experience, and, on the other hand, I approach methodological and ethical limits that were imposed or exceeded during that period. These episodes, which were an outcome of specific social interactions and relations, kept me in distinct experiential frontiers. Eventually they caused strangeness and functioned as mirrors, reflecting a circumstantial presence that interrupted the "normality" of that fieldwork setting in an anthropology that, apparently, took place "at home". The text turns to be a significant contribution to fieldwork practicing, not only and in particular considering the study of the contemporary Portuguese rural world but also because it reveals the multiple interactions in which the anthropologist engages with when in the field.

Based on ethnographic research, this article focuses on the presence of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) in Italy, where it operates under the name Chiesa Cristiana dello Spirito Santo (CCSS). It discusses the case of the UCKG in Italy with emphasis on its strong proselytism and deployment strategy, and its relationship with immigrants, Brazilian and from other ethnic minorities, and Italian nationals. The most successful example of transnationatization of Brazilian Protestantism in this Pentecostal trend and present on five continents, the UCKG-CCSS in Italy is analyzed trough an anthropological approach in the context of the Brazilian diaspora and the "reverse mission", two very important phenomena and of great interest for the social sciences.

This article is a first attempt at reconstructing naming practices in early modern Portugal. Different kinds of sources (Inquisition records and local census materials, both ecclesiastical and military) are used to trace the emergence, in the Sixteenth Century, of a model based on the combination of personal names and family names, transmissible from one generation to the next. This process is analyzed within a broader time-frame (from the Roman period), and appears to indicate the specificity of Iberian models within the European context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents information on the seduction of ethnography of the science. In the end of the years of 1960, sociologist Harold Garfinkel caused some uproar in the social sciences while supporting in his "Studies in Ethnomethodology," that there is no significant difference between the scientific investigation and the driving of the most prosaic daily subjects. Although out of social activities there is nothing recognizable like social order, then to examine them it is something more basic than to investigate determined systems of order which are possible. The agitation that completely provoked had an end when it contrasted the proposal, extremely bold, to reach a deeper level of the social reality seen as investigation of the estimated ones that the sociological analyses leave without examination with the results, extremely shy, the one that such investigation if showed capable to lead. The case of the studies is considered on crime, a particularly expensive subject to the ethnomethodology. The sociologists, on the whole, ask what the social causes of this phenomenon are.
