  • The Quantity that Ënaa Wants’: Establishing Maize Quantities in Ritual and Agricultural Practices in the Mixe Highlands (Oaxaca)

Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, it analyses the restrictions on the measurement of seeds, relating them to cosmological proscriptions that emerge in ritual practices. Through detailed accounts of maize consultation, ritual preparation, and sacrificial deposit, I distinguish between two operations: delimiting (est…

This root has been important both to the colonial project and the resistance to it, particularly in the quilombo-communities. Such sites of resistance have served as paradigmatic examples of ‘escape agriculture’ in the work of James Scott (2009), who highlights the role roots pla…

  • Plantando Mandioca e Criando In/Comensurabilidades

    Open Access•Gabriel Graton Roman, Iara Maria De Almeida Souza et al.•ARTICLE•Revista AntHropológicas•2020

As práticas de plantio de mandioca são examinadas seguindo uma abordagem semiótica…
