          Abstract

          Os Yuroks do norte da Califórnia concebem o corpo enquanto superfície onde mudanças sociais e ambientais são inscritas. Mulheres Yurok atribuem a alta incidência de doenças degenerativas, dependência de drogas psicoativas e crescente criminalidade à violência e à brutalidade dos conquistadores espanhóis, caçadores de peles, garimpeiros e à política indigenista do governo norte-americano. Este artigo analisa oito gerações de dezesseis famílias extensas Yurok, mapeando mudanças ocorridas nas relações sociais e nas práticas políticas do povo. O trabalho aborda as transformações do conhecimento na constituição das ciências naturais e sociais, e o impacto desse conhecimento no território Yurok. Trata-se de uma investigação no campo da Antropologia Médica Crítica, que valoriza a correlação entre corpo e história. A Antropologia Histórica de Marshall Sahlins (1985, 1995), a teoria dos três corpos de Scheper-Hughes & Lock (1987) e o método genealógico de Foucault (1977) mostram como os eventos têm o poder de inscrever memória nos corpos dos indivíduos. É a partir de um conjunto transcultural de práticas híbridas e interdisciplinares, que a imagem que os Yuroks constroem do próprio corpo pode ser melhor compreendida.

          Translated abstract

          Yurok perceptions of the body as the inscribed surface of social and environmental change are explored in this paper. To the violence and brutality of Spaniards, fur traders, gold miners, American soldiers, and Indian policies of the US government since the eighteenth century, Yurok women attribute the high incidence of degenerative diseases, drug abuse and criminality in northern California. The piece contemplates the lives of eight generations of sixteen Yurok extended families, mapping intergenerational shifts in Yurok social relations and political practices. It considers the mutation of knowledge in the constitution of the natural and social sciences and the effects of this knowledge when implemented in Yurok country. Here, Critical Medical Anthropology values the correlation between body and history in the works of Foucault (1977), Sahlins (1985, 1995), and Scheper-Hughes & Lock (1987). This historico-critical investigation shows how certain events mark their power and engrave memories on individuals’ bodies. It is within a hybrid set of cross-cultural and interdisciplinary practices that a more fruitful understanding of Yurok body imagery can be fashioned.
