  • Rhetorical antinomies and radical othering: Recent reflections on responses to an old paper concerning human-animal relations in Amazonia

    Open AccessStephen Hugh‐jone, Stephen Hugh-Jone et al.ARTICLEHau Journal of Ethnographic Theory2019Cited by: 4References: 10

    Notions of animals as social subjects held by Amazonian Indians have played a central role in anthropology’s ontological turn. Written as a reply to two critical responses to an earlier paper on human-animal relations, this essay explores the complex and often contradictory nature of ideas about animals and attitudes toward them held by both Amerindians and Euro-Americans. It suggests that, alongside mythology and shamanism, a further source of t…

  • Body Tubes and Synaesthesia

    Open AccessStephen Hugh‐jone, Stephen Hugh-Jone et al.ARTICLEMundo Amazónico2017Cited by: 18References: 32

    Los flujos a través de formas tubulares en el cuerpo, en la cultura material y en el medio natura juegan un papel clave en el pensamiento de los pueblos indígenas del noroeste amazónico. Usando ejemplos de la vida cotidiana, la mitología y el ritual, este artículo examina el tubo como un concepto abstracto que une fisiología, sicología y procesos productivos con aspectos sociológicos y cosmológicos más amplios. Las manifestaciones materiales, vis…

    Stephen Hugh‐jone, Stephen Hugh-Jone et al.ARTICLEHistory and Anthropology2016Cited by: 14References: 17

    This paper deals with the relation between different kinds of indigenous speech and music and various iconographic forms such as petroglyphs, house painting, basketry designs and also features of landscape that are understood in graphic terms. It examines how Northwest Amazonian myth-history is structured and memorized, how it can appear in both verbal and non-verbal forms, and how contemporary books, maps and diagrams produced by indigenous orga…

  • The Pleiades and Scorpius in Barasana Cosmology: Initiation and cosmology in Northwestern Amazonia

    Stephen Hugh‐jone, Stephen Hugh-Jone et al.BOOKJournal of Skyscape Archaeology2015Cited by: 1References: 1

    This article examines the astronomical knowledge of the Barasana people of the Northwest Amazon, focusing on the significance of the Pleiades and Scorpius constellations in their cosmology and initiation rituals. Building upon Koch-Grünberg's early 20th-century ethnographic work, the author explores how these constellations serve as markers of time, influencing agricultural practices and shaping the Barasana understanding of the cosmos. The study…

  • Space-Time Transformations in the Upper Xingu and Upper Rio Negro

    Open AccessGeraldo Andrello, Antonio Guerreiro et al.BOOKSociologia & Antropologia2015Cited by: 16References: 17

    The multi-ethnic and multilingual complexes of the Upper Rio Negro and the Upper Xingu share common aspects that frequently emerge in ethnographies, including notions of descent, hierarchical social organization and ritual activities, as well as a preference for forms of exogamy and the unequal distribution of productive and ritual specialties and esoteric knowledge. In this article, the authors investigate how the people of both regions conceive…

    A partir da análise de um amplo conjunto de narrativas sobre a origem da noite, obtidas junto aos povos indígenas da bacia do Alto Rio Negro no noroeste amazônico, este artigo explora o modo como esses povos representam a alternância entre o dia e a noite em diferentes planos de significantes - nos sons e cores dos insetos, pássaros e animais da floresta; nos materiais, texturas e cores de suas casas e objetos; no corpo humano; e na música e na d…

  • Caixa de Pandora: Estilo Alto-Rio-Negrino

    Open AccessStephen Hugh‐jone, Stephen Hugh-Jone et al.ARTICLERevista de Antropologia da UFSCar2014Cited by: 4References: 10

    Neste capítulo, proponho que o estilo relativamente uniforme da vestimenta cerimonial masculina, compartilhado pelos povos Tukano Oriental e Arawak do Alto Rio Negro, é uma das facetas de um sistema ritual que dá coerência ao sistema social regional. Partindo de dados de grupos Tukano Oriental, este capítulo analisa a ornamentação corporal de perspectivas diferentes, mas inter-relacionadas: adornos como bens herdados personi•icados e objetos de v…

  • Bride-service and the absent gift

    Open AccessStephen Hugh‐jone, Stephen Hugh‐JonesARTICLEJournal of the Royal Anthropologica…2013Cited by: 18References: 42

    Building on a previous experiment to apply Strathern's discussions of Melanesian gift exchange to ethnography relating to Tukanoan societies in Northwest Amazonia, this essay asks why other authors should repeatedly affirm that the gift has no relevance in the Amazonian context. Two answers are proposed. Firstly, the authors concerned tend to assume that a particular type of social formation is characteristic of Amazonia as a whole. The Tukanoans…

  • Entre l'image et l'écrit. La politique tukano de patrimonialisation en Amazonie

    Open AccessStephen Hugh‐jone, Stephen Hugh-Jone et al.BOOKCahiers des Amériques latines2010Cited by: 32References: 27

    Este artigo examina a política de patrimonialização Tukano na Amazônia colombiana, focando na interação complexa entre imagem e escrita. Hugh-Jones argumenta que os Tukano, em vez de simplesmente adotarem formas ocidentais de representação, as adaptaram e integraram em suas próprias práticas culturais e políticas. A pesquisa explora como fotografias, vídeos e documentos escritos são usados para negociar a identidade Tukano, reivindicar direitos t…

    A importância dos sistemas de nominação para a compreensão das sociedades e culturas ameríndias é hoje amplamente reconhecida, mas as informações sobre esse tópico concernentes aos povos Tukano do Noroeste Amazônico permanecem esparsas e dispersas.
