Abstract

In this article we focus on escape as a strategy often used by Mbya women and men to refit sexual-affective bonds. As the paper suggests, to escape from (-java) a relationship and to escape with a partner with whom one wishes to start a new relationship entails modes of sexual agency and exercise of personal autonomy articulated with the management of emotion and the multisite features of Mbya kinship. The article presents these connections for further academic developments and discusses the possibilities of kinship production considering the practice of escape.
