Resumo
This article presents a discussion about the body of women from the Warao Venezuelan ethnic group, who live in Manaus, the capital of Amazonas (AM), in the north of Brazil. In the last decade, this ethnic group has undergone a migration process that has required extreme adaptations in their way of life, their emotions, their perceptions and their bodies. The aim is to portray some of the changes that have taken place in this woman's body, comparing her bodily traditions, in terms of social, economic and cultural practices in her former community, with the current forms of bodily (over)experiences. Therefore, the work starts from the Warao woman of the Orinoco delta to the Warao woman who lives in Manaus as an immigrant, intruder and/or beggar. The work uses bibliographical elements on migration and the Warao woman's body, as well as a qualitative descriptive approach to the daily situations of this population. It was observed that even with the difficulties encountered during the migration process from Venezuela to Brazil (Manaus-AM), Warao women try to adapt to their new life routine and body expression, trying to keep their original history and culture alive.
