Ce texte explore l'articulation symbolique entre le chamanisme, la couvade et l'initiation des jeunes femmes chez les Galibi de la Guyane française. Ces institutions concourent à la construction des catégories constitutives de la personne et des genres. L'analyse des interdits qui les encadrent indique que ce sont les mêmes polarisations générales de la culture qui opèrent. Dans ce contexte, il apparaît que la pratique chamanique et la couvade forment deux pôles inversés et complémentaires d'un même modèle culturel. En conclusion, le chamanisme disparaît comme site autonome tel qu'il fut réifié par l'anthropologie. This text explores the symbolic articulation between shamanism, male pregnancy and the rites of first menstruation among the Galibi of French Guyana. These institutions contribute to construct constitutive categories of the notion of person and of gender. The study of interdictions that define their boundaries show that the same general categorical polarisation operate. In this context, it appears that shamanism and couvade are two reversed but complementary poles of the same general cultural model. In conclusion, shamanism disappears as an autonomous site as it was reified by anthropology.

Long description: Os ensaios reunidos en Letras escarlata interróganse sobre os novos xeitos de representación do corpo (en) feminino no imaxinario simbólico, literario e cultural contemporáneo. Como se subverten os modelos e códigos patriarcais no ámbito da comunicación e das artes? Que transformacións sociais e ideolóxicas sustentan este cambio de paradigma? Abórdanse estas problemáticas desde diferentes áreas científicas —da antropoloxía e a filosofía ata os estudos literarios e culturais— e ámbitos lingüísticos, co obxectivo de abrir novas vías de reflexión desde a perspectiva dos estudos de xénero. // The essays gathered in Letras escarlata consider new ways of representing the (gendered) female body through contemporary symbolic, literary and cultural collective imagination. How are patriarchal models and codes subverted in the field of communication and the arts? What social and ideological changes underpin this paradigm shift? These problematic issues are addressed from different scientific and linguistic fields—from anthropology and philosophy to literary and cultural studies—with the aim of opening new lines of thought from a gender studies perspective.
