| Summary: | This text addresses the idea of masculinity in indigenous religious tradition, particularly the Guaraní, a condition inferred from some cultural manifestations and expressions, such as the assignment of roles in daily activities and characteristics of the Guaraní language. The studies carried out in the Guaraní culture and the testimonies collected in some indigenous communities are analysed. The main characteristics around masculinity are established, except that the perspective of ancestral practice is uncertain, due to the precarious socio-economic situation of the actors in question. |
