The research focused on Kariri-Shocó shamanism as a medical knowledge. The interrelation between gendered embodiment and shamanism provided the possibility of observing how Kariri-Shocó specialized knowledge relates to gendered embodiment and female embodied subjectivity. Kariri-Shocó shamanic specialists explain that the body opens during sexual intercourse and when women experience menstrual and post-delivery blood fluxes. I describe three different kinds of Kariri-Shocó cure-healing rituals which have the purpose of closing the patient¿s body. The reza (prayer) ritual is one of the first steps that Kariri-Shocó people take towards cure-healing processes. Specialists experience embodiment during cure-healing rituals, when the nature of the patient¿s health problem is discovered, diagnosed, and treated. I have discussed and demonstrated that Kariri-Shocó knowledge of the body relates to the ¿openness¿ and ¿closedness¿ of the body, which provides basis for sexual differences perceptions and experiences intertwined with gender embodiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783847300830\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEmbodiment among the Kariri-Shocó of Northeast Brazil\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783847300830","offer_id":39485340745821,"sku":"9783847300830","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/4c9dd098-0867-46a3-9f50-59931d2fac7a.jpg?v=1776496143","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/gender-and-reproduction-von-silvia-aguiar-carneiro-martins","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
