Andando pelo Caminho Vermelho

This thesis presents a cartography—a moving map created as psychosocial landscapes are dismantled and reassembled—of shamanic practices that have become more visible through growing interactions between indigenous and non-indigenous people. The work explores how these practices emerge and transform within urban and sociocultural dynamics, drawing on perspectives from geography, sociology, and aesthetics. It examines the shifting visibility of indigenous knowledge and the relational processes that shape contemporary shamanic expressions, particularly in Latin American contexts.
