OLIVEIRA, Joana Cabral de. Made of seed and stone: affection and categorization in an ethnography in Amazonia. Etnográfica [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.1, pp.143-161. ISSN 0873-6561.
This article is based on an ethnography among the Wajãpi, an Amerindian group that speaks a Tupi-Guarani language and live in Brazilian Amazon. In this context, the concept of “logic of sensible qualities” (Lévi-Strauss 1970) appears as potent guide to following non-linear connections drew by the Wajãpi and enables to go across different scopes of this people’s life: botanical classifications, the processes of building wise persons, body construction, and healing actions.
Palavras-chave : Amazon; logic of sensible qualities; affection; word’s agency.
