O dois e seu múltiplo: reflexões sobre o perspectivismo em uma cosmologia tupi

This article takes the wild boar hunt as the basis for an ethnographic essay on an indigenous notion of point of view, applied to the field of relations between humans and animals in the cosmology of a Tupi people, the Juruna. In addition to revealing the particular complexity of these relations, the concept of point of view shows how the notion of double is irreducible to that of soul, like "nature"and "supernature"are effects of perspectives, and finally how the hunt is included in a multiple bilinear spatial/temporal structure, evoking the "labyrinths" that the Juruna paint on their skin.
