[en] The thematic issue "Ritxoko is gold!", organized by members of the Karajá Presence Project: material culture, fabric and colonial transits (PPK), presents some of its results. Such project has been developed since 2017. This issue also includes texts by authors who are not part of the project team, but that in one way or another approach their research themes and suggest other possible developments. The texts are in Portuguese or in English.
"Ritxoko is gold!", the title of the special issue, is a line from the master ceramist Mahuederu. In pronouncing it, she reaffirms the symbolic and economic values linked to the production of ceramic dolls produced by the Iny Karajá people, whose registration by IPHAN as a Brazilian Intangible Heritage completes 10 years in 2022.
