Language and Cultural Adaptation (In Progress)
In an increasingly interconnected world, understanding cultural dynamics is key to building effective relationships and achieving success. My consultancy services provide tailored support for professionals and businesses looking to adapt to cultural differences and foster harmonious interactions.
My research delves into the intersection of culture, cinema, and society, with a focus on early 20th-century Chinese cinema. Through my work, I aim to provide detailed analyses that connect academic insights with real-world applications.
I am currently improving my Mandarin-Portuguese translation and cultural adaptation skills. Drawing from my academic research on Chinese culture and language, I am preparing to offer translation services that effectively convey meaning and cultural context. While this service is not yet available, I look forward to supporting you in the near future.
About Me and My Work
I am an anthropologist and researcher specializing in Chinese culture and cinema. My academic journey includes a bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, a master's degree in Anthropology, and ongoing doctoral research focused on early 20th-century Chinese cinema. Beyond my work on China, my master's research explored Indigenous Martial Performance as an Imagetic Political Strategy, resulting in the publication of my book, Xondaro Guarani: Martial Art, Performance, and Politics. These experiences shape my interdisciplinary approach to understanding cultural dynamics and sharing unique insights.

Imagetic Political Strategy
Xondaro Guarani: Martial Art, Performance, and Politics
My master's research delved into the Guarani xondaro, conceptualizing it as a martial performance intricately tied to cultural identity and political expression. Through fieldwork in indigenous villages and an anthropological lens, the study examined how this practice reflects broader societal dynamics and individual agency within the Guarani community. The research was a critical exploration of performance as both tradition and resistance.
The culmination of my master's research is the book Xondaro Guarani: Martial Art, Performance, and Politics. Bridging academic analysis with accessible narratives, the book highlights the xondaro as a martial performance. Divided into two parts, it explores both the initial fieldwork and a deeper analysis of how martial performance embodies identity, community, and politics within the Guarani culture.
