Resumo: | The present study approaches the social dimension of the relationship between humans and non-humans in the cosmology and everyday lives of riparians, from etnographic data resulting from field research carried out between 2005 and 2007, within communities located on the banks of low Rio Tapajós, Pará. The guiding principles of this relationship are given by the cultural system, which postulates the non-existence of a dichotomy or antagonism between the natural, cultural and supernatural dimensions but, instead, postulates beings in a transformational universe populated by a plurality of agents, human and non-human. Such beings, with a power of enchantment and agency, transform into each other, under certain circumstances. They transfigure their appearances and behaviors, regulate and affect the body and individual and collective everyday life. In this ethnographic context, some qualities of beings – animals, humans, objects, spirits and institutions – are apprehended as people with whom they can establish social relationships, especially “deals”. |

Os princípios orientadores dessa relação são fornecidos pelo sistema cultural que postula a não existência de dicotomia ou antagonismo entre as dimensões natural, cultural e sobrenatural, mas, em seu lugar, postula um universo transformacional e povoado por uma pluralidade de agentes, humanos e não humanos. Tais seres, com poder de encantamento e agenciamento, transformam-se, em certas circunstâncias, uns nos outros. Transfiguram suas aparências e comportamentos, regulam e afetam o corpo e a vida cotidiana individual e coletiva. Nesse contexto etnográfico, algumas qualidades de seres — animais, humanos, objetos, espíritos e instituições — são apreendidas como pessoas com quem podem estabelecer relações sociais, particularmente “acordos”.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2012-03-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/2012.v17n1p1710.5433/2176-6665.2012v17n1p17Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 17 No. 1 (2012); 17-32Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 17 Núm. 1 (2012); 17-32Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 17 n. 1 (2012); 17-322176-66651414-0543reponame:Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociaisinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/2012.v17n1p17/10986Copyright (c) 2012 João Valentin Wawzyniakinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessValentin Wawzyniak, João2022-05-11T14:38:25Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/12608Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/indexPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/oaimediacoes@uel.br2176-66652176-6665opendoar:2023-01-13T10:37:54.994529Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false |
