Authors

Abstract

In this paper I intend to show how body marks and physical skills and gesture can characterize the storytellers on the frontier of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. These elements are central in the stories they told about themselves. The relevance of the body on the configuration of these subjects is analyzed through ethnographic data such as oral narratives and photographs taken during storytellers performances.
