Description
Summary:The circulation of the breed animals around houses, ranches and farms is an important topic of everyday life for residents of rural areas of the municipality of Urucuia, MG. The breeding is understood as product of human action upon the "nature" meanwhile considered as endowed with subjectivity and agency that often lead to a confrontation with men. Those animals mobility call into question the physical and symbolic boundaries of houses, farms and ranches, as well as closely related to various aspects of social life. Hence, their mobility is in the basis of the production and maintenance of yards, barns, corrals, pastures and ploughs. Furthermore, it triggers practises of reciprocity that are responsible for enable and dissolute links among breeders.
