| Summary: | Building and re-building Guarani territories: territorial dynamics in the border zone between Brazil and Paraguay (19th-20th centuries). This paper attempts to document, in an ethno-historical perspective, how Guarani territorial organization adjusted to frontier expansion in both countries in the border zone between Brazil and Paraguay, in the years immediately preceding the Triple Alliance War (1864-1870). A second aim of this work is to explore how colonial forces of both States managed to subdue the Guarani groups. We will first characterize the historical context of colonization in the region, and then attempt to show how the different territorial politics introduced by Brazil and Paraguay led the Guarani groups to continuously redefine the meaning of territory, sometimes being confined to strictly delimited space, sometimes having vaster and more autonomous lands at their disposal. |
