O peixe sobre beiju é o leite e a espuma de buiuiu: uma reflexividade antropológica indígena sobre a gestão cosmopolítica tukano no Alto Rio Negro

Abstract

The fish under beiju is an anthropological reflexivity about body and ehêri põ’ra’ food. The listening of the parents, father-in-law, and wife were important in the construction of this thesis’ methodological construction, based in the dialogue between ancestral knowledge and indigenous antropology. The place of the thought listening is the miriti tapuia territory, Middle Tiquié river, one of the tributaries of the Uaupés river, Alto Rio Negro Indigenous Land, São Gabriel da Cachoeira city, Amazonas, Brazil Different versions of narratives of Eastern Tukanoan people are theories-practices ofself-care and the well-being of the entire universe. The interlocutors brought their life experiences about the forest, the garden, the river, and their paths. Each one of these spaces has its owners and agentes in the language of human ecology. Yukí-masí is forest people, Ba’asehé-Boo is the owner of the abundance of food, and Kama-Wẽéri is the creator of the origins of social ills and diseases. SIn these spaces are developed technical activities fundamental to tukanoan lives, and this is the reason for the ofering of artefacts to the sons and daughters. To be in these spaces or places, that have names, require respect to rules of interespecifics relationship, which are elaborated in the form of advices, to have good health. All these elements compose the tukanoan cosmopolitical management.
