Ownership and Nurture
The first book to address the classic anthropological theme of property through the ethnography of Amazonia, Ownership and Nurture sets new and challenging terms for anthropological debates about the region and about property in general. Property and ownership have special significance and carry specific meanings in Amazonia, which has been portrayed as the antithesis of Western, property-based, civilization. Through carefully constructed studies of land ownership, slavery, shamanism, spirit mastery, aesthetics, and intellectual property, this volume demonstrates that property relations are of central importance in Amazonia, and that the ownership of persons plays an especially significant role in native cosmology.
After the Long Silence
After the Long Silence offers a ground-breaking, meticulously researched criticism of Brazilian contemporary performance created by its post-dictatorship generation, whose work expresses the consequences of decades of state-imposed censorship. By offering an in-depth examination of key artists and their works, Cláudia Tatinge Nascimento highlights Brazil’s political trajectory while never allowing the weight of historical events to offset key aesthetic trends. Brazilian theater artists born around the time of the nation’s 1964 military coup experienced the oppressive rule of dictatorship throughout their formative years, but came of age as Brazil re-entered democracy some two decades la...
Transcultural Histories of Art and Artisanal Epistemologies
This edited volume de-familiarizes European conceptions of artistry and thinks its history anew. It represents a rethinking on a global stage of some of the most fundamental assumptions in what were once arguably helpful methodological tools in art history. As chapters in this book demonstrate, the category of artisanal knowledge opens up the history of culture, allowing discourse to be freed from a narrative of cultural development without excluding Art with a capital A from consideration. Our shared inquiry, approached through many different case studies involving many kinds of data and contexts, focuses attention on methodological aspects. Each chapter provides a sustained meditation on a...

Traducciones caníbales
Este impulso de Álvaro Faleiros de penetrar en la complejidad del acto traductivo por medio del chamanismo solo le es dado a él, que es poeta, músico y traductor. Después de discutir sobre Vizioli, cuando se refiere a las traducciones de poesía en lengua inglesa, cuyas posiciones traductivas se centran en el ritmo, introduce la antropología como fuente de reflexión, que, desde la antropofagia de Viveros de Castro y las consideraciones chamánicas de Carneiro da Cunha, permiten la aparición de la noción de "acción chamánica", que Faleiros nombra y vigoriza con las propuestas de Niemeyer Cesarino, aplicando esta noción al (como diría Berman) pensamiento de la traducción. Y si el ...

Rio acima
Em narrativa ágil e precisa, romance de antropólogo explora lado sombrio dos mitos indígenas da Amazônia. Um antropólogo desembarca na Amazônia para estudar os mitos de um povo indígena e a misteriosa história do "apanhador de pássaros". Aos poucos, o pesquisador vai se aproximando da descoberta - mas ela pode ter consequências desastrosas. Narrado com precisão e agilidade, Rio acima é um misto de Nove noites, o romance de Bernardo Carvalho em que um pesquisador mergulha na vida dos índios do Xingu, e de Coração das trevas, o clássico de Joseph Conrad em que o lento avançar por um rio selvagem revela um universo sombrio. Pedro Cesarino é um dos pesquisadores mais brilhantes de sua geração e mostra que é também um grande ficcionista, capaz de ombrear com os melhores da nova literatura brasileira.
