    "title": "RETHINKING XINGUANO KINSHIP: ELEMENTS FOR COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF A MULTIETHNIC NETWORK",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p><em><span style='font-family: \"times new roman\", times, serif;'>The existence of kinship relationships across the entire Upper Xingu has been recognized as a key element of interethnic relations in this region since the time of the expedi-tions by Karl von den Steinen, in this region. The pattern of long-term repetition of marriages has seemingly contributed to the development of structurally very similar terminological systems among the Upper Xingu indigenous peoples (distinguishing them from their other neighbors) and to the generalization among them of a “relatives” condition. Although almost all monographs on the region have devoted some space to kinship, in general, and forms of marriage, in particular, there are few detailed studies on the subject, and available genealogical data are even more scarce. The objective of this article is to resume the discussion on the role of marriages in the production of Upper Xingu sociality based on the analysis of a genealogical network document-ed among the Kalapalo, one of the Carib-speaking peoples of the Upper Xingu. By implementing the computational tools, PUCK and Pajek, the goal is to describe this network by focusing on the types of marriage circuits that occur and their relative frequencies. This descriptive exercise has two specific objectives: 1) study how the results relate to already proposed models on Xinguano kinship and 2) examine the marriage circuits formed by interethnic alliances in or-der to better understand their actual frequency and question the extent to which these circuits intercorrelate. Thus, I expect to develop a model of this network according to its intrinsic proper-ties and to provide a more concrete view of the marriage dynamics in the Upper Xingu based on the Kalapalo case. </span></em></p>",
