What was most surprising\, how ever\, was that their warfare was not primarily driven by the pursuit of w ealth\, but by the need to take prisoners for sacrifice in their cannibali stic rituals. This lecture investigates the symbolic fabric upon which the Tupinambá warfare was organized. \; It demonstrates that the canniba lism practiced by these Amerindians was not primarily intended for the inc orporation of the traits of the defeated individual. Instead\, the ultimat e goal of this practice was connected to the creation of an incorruptible body.\n\n\n\nInácio Cunha\, PhD\, a Jungian Analyst\, graduated from the Research and Training Centre for Depth Psychology According to C. G. Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz in Zurich. He currently coordinates a discussio n forum for analysts who graduated from this Centre. He is in private prac tice in Belo Horizonte\, Brazil\, where he also teaches and organizes meet ings on Jungian psychology.\n\n\n\nHe has translated three books by Marie- Louise von Franz into Portuguese and has published the following books in English: \;The Lower \;Limbs in Jungian Psychology: The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth\; \;The Feminine Entrapped Within a Fruit: A Jungian Interpretation\; and The Costs of Consciousness. He has recently p ublished in Portuguese: \; \;Mito Cosmogônico Tupinambá – À L uz da Psicologia Analítica Junguiana \;(Tupinambá Cosmogonic Myth – In the Light of Jungian Psychology). The book \;O Canibalismo Tupi nambá e a Construção do Corpo Eterno \;(The Tupinambá Cannibalism and the Building of the Eternal Body) is also currently in print.\n\n\n\nL earning objectives:\n\n\n\n\nAppreciate how religiosity was determinant fo r the dynamics of the Tupinambá culture\, especially regarding their warf are and cannibalism.\n\n\n\nDescribe the Tupinambá’s own view regarding their warfare and appetite for human flesh and its symbolic connection to the prospect of a life in the beyond.\n\n\n\nCompare the Tupinambá’s o wn view regarding their warfare and appetite for human flesh to the White Man’s understanding of the Brazilian Amerindians.\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://junginoc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/ Cuna.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
