FAMILY FARMING, GENEALOGY, ETHNOGRAPHY WITH CHILDRENAbstract
In the agricultural occupations of the northeast of Misiones, kinship functions as a fundamental principle of social organization. Among these families, we observe that the genealogical memory is short and the kinship representations — pictures, pictures, family trees — practically non-existent. In our field work carried out with children of rural origin in a primary school in the community, we note that the links are known but it is, as Woortmann (1995) refers, of spoken trees. In this population, the family that is known is the one that is practiced, that is, the one that is used daily. The holding of participatory workshops with children, and the construction of their own kinship diagrams, yielded unexpected results. Although it allowed us to know some kinship links that are weak or little known, the rigidity of this graph and the particular characteristics assumed by the kinship structure in this area, led us to reflect on the universal utility of the family tree and look for other types of diagrams a model that adapts more to the structure of these families.
