RESUMO:
This thesis studies different anthropological theoretical approaches that sought to study the indigenous peoples of Brazil between 1880 and 1910. During this period, anthropology went from a science centered on craniometric studies, to a science that sought to study cultural aspects. The advent of the cultural perspective within anthropology did not mean the end of craniometric studies. For the development of this thesis the main works of Lacerda, Mello-Netto, von Ihering and Ehrenreich were chosen to analyze the views ofthese authors regarding the indigenous peoples of Brazil. In his works, anthropological discussions about the indigenous peoples of Brazil that were in dispute in the scientific environment between 1880 and 1910 were investigated. Publications related to indigenous peoples were analyzed in the archives and in magazines of Brazilian museums and scientific institutions, mainly focusing on the National Museum and the Paulista Museum. This research also includes a review of recent literature focusing on the authors here studied, as well as on the history of anthropological views and naturalistic expeditions during the period considered in this. The period from 1880 to 1910 can be considered as a time of intense discussions about the origin of human beings in the American continent. Did American man have an origin independent of the other human races in the world, or did all human races have a common origin? This question prompted many studies within the anthropology of that period. Several researchers relied on craniometric studies to try to answer questions related to the origin of the American man, at the same time, these studies served as a basis to support and legitimize the racial hierarchies, so striking in Brazilian society of that period. Through craniometric data, the researchers sought to understand the kinship relationships between different races, different tribes or different indigenous ethnicities. In Brazil, the studies of João Baptista Lacerda and LadislauNetto, on the Indians who lived here, were heavily influenced by the craniometry inspired by Paul Broca. At the time when craniometry was understood as the best way to study indigenous races, some authors began to question the limitations that these measurements would have to give answers to the questions posed within anthropology. In this current of thought, Paul Ehrenreich and Hermann von Ihering, who came from the school of anthropology led by Rudolf Virchow and Aldof Bastian in Germany, recognized several limitations in craniometry. Anthropologycentered on craniometry was unable to answer questions regarding the origin and the relationships between different races. These authors, from the German school of anthropology, contributed, through anthropological studies of the indigenous peoples of Brazil, to underpin the epistemological change that took place in anthropology in the early 20th century.
