    (Associação Brasileira de Antropologia (ABA), 2012-06-01) Araújo, Melvina [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    This article discusses the problem of cultural mediation, focusing on the relations between a Kikuyu catechist and Consolata missionaries. It analyzes a biography of this catechist, which was written by a missionary. The information contained in the biography is compared with data from other sources that allow us to reconstruct the trajectory of an important agent in the relations between Catholic missionaries and natives in Kenya.

    Uma questão controversa: a circuncisão feminina no Quênia
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2016-01-04) Guerra, Alessandra Gando [UNIFESP]; Araujo, Melvina Afra Mendes de [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    This thesis aims at analyzing the controversy over female circumcision, which occurred in the 1920s when Protestant missionaries of some denominations came to prohibit their Kikuyu supporters ? majoritary group of population in Kenya ? from practicing it because they considered it to be something "uncivilized" and that was not part of a Christian way of life. We also seek to demonstrate how the arguments present in contemporary discourses, both defending and combating this practice, relate to those used by the actors involved in the "controversy of circumcision", whose summit took place between the late 1920s and mid-1930s .
