DO - 10.5216/hawo.v3.72251 UR - https://revistas.ufg.br/hawo/article/view/72251 SP - 1-47 AB - <p>This article describes the current cooperation between Presença Karajá, an interdisciplinary research project that maps<br />and analyzes collections of Iny-Karajá dolls (Ritxoko) in museum collections, and the GRASSI Museum for Ethnology in Leipzig, Germany, part of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD). Together, the working group analyzed the collection of Ritxoko embedded in other Iny-Karajá materials, gathered and documented by Dr. Fritz Krause (1881-1963) in 1908. Based on Krause’s published works from his expedition, Iny-Karajá anthropological contributions, insights from Iny-Karajá representatives, and the<br />Ritxoko themselves, the working group investigated the provenance, ethnography, and anthropological data together, gathering valuable research results for the collection history as well as for the Iny-Karajá themselves. Presença Karajá offered the Museum<br />an opportunity to enhance the history of its collections as well as to contribute to a social museology, supporting the goals of what<br />the Museum calls “immaterial restitution” or more aptly, “digital dissemination”: granting Indigenous cultures greater sovereignty<br />over their heritage.</p> ER -
