New Interethnic Relations And Native Perceptions Of Human-To-Human Relations In Brazilian Amazonia


Pirjo Kristiina Virtanen, 2009


This article attempts to provide fresh insight into the new kinds of intermediaries found in Amazonian native communities, showing how interethnic relations have changed today's native communities. The text presents a case study of the Manchineri people living in Brazilian Amazonia, focusing in particular on their spokespeople in rural and urban areas. These intermediaries work to produce equality and relatedness within the new social spaces where negotiations are required. Producing new human perspectives with non-natives is necessary in order to interact in the contemporary Amazonian interethnic sociocosmologies. However, in the Manchineri community, new social roles have caused widening generational, urban–rural and gender gaps. The social logic of Amazonian native peoples limits the ways in which specific social roles with special interethnic skills are temporarily adopted, and produces new ways to overcome deepening social, political, and economic distances.

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology; 14(2): 332 - 354

Este artículo ofrece un nuevo punto de vista sobre los nuevos tipos de intermediarios aparecidos en las comunidades indígenas amazónicas, mostrando cómo las nuevas relaciones interétnicas han cambiado la realidad de estas comunidades. El texto presenta un estudio sobre los Manchineris de la Amazonía brasileña. Estos agentes llevan a cabo la producción de igualdad y relatividad dentro de los espacios sociales donde se requiere esta negociación. En la comunidad Manchineri nuevos papeles sociales causan una creciente separación entre distintas generaciones, entre géneros así como entre zonas urbanas y rurales. Sin embargo, la producción de nuevas perspectivas humanas con los no-indígenas es necesaria para poder interactuar en la actual sociocosmología amazónica interétnica. La lógica social de los pueblos amazónicos indígenas condiciona el cómo estos papeles sociales con habilidades interétnicas específicas son temporalmente adoptados y crea nuevas maneras de vencer las distancias sociales, económicas y políticas en expansión.
