Methodologies of life, research and struggle: the Panh experience

ABSTRACT

This essay presents the reflections of Sheila Baxy P. Castro Apinaje and Julio Kamer Ribeiro Apinaje on their work as researchers of the Plataforma de Antropologia e Respostas Indigenas a COVID-19 (Platform of Anthropol ogy and Indi genous Responses to Covid-19) (PARI-c), in the Apinaje Indigenous Land, in the context of the global health crisis caused by the new coronavirus. Through the description of the research procedures adopted, the authors appropriate the concept of methodology in a unique and creative way. They reflect not only on the strategies to produce academic knowledge, but also on the urge to align these strategies to Panh struggles for the protection of their autonomy over their ways of living and their territory.
