The genogram families construction Guarani-mbya: a strategy for strengthening and recognition of an indigenous community culture ancestral

Abstract

The survey was conducted on a Guarani community on the banks of the RS 040, in Capivari do Sul / RS, with a community of 40 individuals, who are in situation of social vulnerability and culture. It is a search that is a descriptive qualitative approach, which uses the structuralistfunctionalist method (PARSONS, 1902-1979) and (MERTON, 1910- 2003) for research and action research (TIOLLENT, 1947) as a methodology for theoretical and practical articulation and analysis of ethnographic research data. It is used as a tool to build the family genogram (MC Goldrick, 2012) and ecomap (MC Goldrick, 2012) of the community, guided by a structured questionnaire aimed at listening to the voice of these subjects. Data analysis brings hermeneutical and semiotic reflections in the light of the concepts of Gadamer (1900 - 2002) and Peirce (1839-1914), for a historical and cultural perspective, establishing a dialogue with the authors of Systemic Family Therapy. Finally, in concluding remarks, the cultural importance of the Guarani to contemporary society as well as the possibilities of using the genogram as a service tool for communities and families, both in the therapeutic approach, as for formulation and structuring of public policies.
