FRANCHETTO, Bruna. Urutau’s Journey: How is the vagina inside?. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2023, vol.31, n.3, e95356.  Epub Sep 01, 2023. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2023v31n395356.

A kuikuro akinha (narrative) makes the author think and write again about sexes and sexualities of women (and men) in a corner of the Amerindian world and in our kagaiha (non-indigenous) world. The character of the akinha is Ájahi, the Urutau bird-people, who undertakes a journey to find out what the vagina would be like from the inside. It is a fun and serious narrative, at the same time, that leads to complementarities, developments and contrasts. Egü (vulva or vagina) is another character, vagina-person, who crosses Amerindian mythological thought in fragments and transformations. Vulva "good to be thought of".

Keywords : Kuikuro; Upper Xingu; sexes; gender; vulva.
