Abstract
This article describes ethnographic data on bodily processes and treatments and theories of visual and performatic practices in the ser/living mbyà, based on entomusicological research among mbyà groups in southern Brazil. On the basis of these descriptions, we propose the interpretation of a ‘cosmo-sonic’ domain of the ontology and epistemology of this Amerindian people, i.e. that the construction of the mbyà person and the construction of knowledge are closely linked to sound processes, as well as imagetic, kinetic and materials that strengthen listening and resonance of being.
