The sickness is a spiritual illness that befalls Amerindian girls living in boarding school dormitories in Guyana that manifests in repeated violent fits. By exploring the reactions of community members and parents to this unusual illness, and how they link it to the power of menstrual blood, the article grapples with gendered personhood and transformation and what it means to come of age for young Amerindian woman in the face of rapid social change.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Resumo: Neste artigo, a autora coloca a literatura existente sobre pessoa genderizada e espaço, e as relações entre os fluidos corporais e o mundo espiritual, em diálogo com um relato etnográfico específico sobre a enfermidade (The sickness) no Sul da Guiana. A enfermidade é uma doença espiritual que atinge meninas ameríndias vivendo em dormitórios de internatos na Guiana e manifesta-se sob ataques violentos repetidos. Ao explorar as reações dos membros da comunidade e dos pais da menina a essa enfermidade incomum, e também como eles vinculam-na ao poder do sangue menstrual, o artigo lida com a pessoa genderizada e a transformação, e o que significa para uma jovem mulher ameríndia atingir a maioridade em face da rápida mudança social.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen: En el presente artículo la autora pone en diálogo la literatura sobre la construcción de persona y género, el espacio, los fluidos corporales y el mundo espiritual con una situación etnográfica particular: la enfermedad que ataca a las jóvenes indígenas que viven en los dormitorios de los internados escolares en el Sur de la Guyana. Esta enfermedad es un mal espiritual que se manifiesta en repetidos ataques violentos. La exploración de las reacciones de los padres y miembros de la comunidad frente a esta inusual enfermedad y los vínculos que le atribuyen al poder de la sangre menstrual sobre la enfermedad, le permite a la autora indagar en el proceso de construcción de género y persona, en una contexto de acelerado cambio social, donde se da cita la transformación de las jóvenes indígenas en mujeres adultas.]]></p></abstract>
