ABSTRACT
This article discusses the relationships between ontological variation, translation and the study of Amerindian shamanism and its conceptions of human extensions and connections. Revising some aspects of the anthropological use of the notion of ontology, the article explores some ethnographic translations of copular verbs and its consequences for the undestanding of shamanistic virtual regimes of knowledge.
