Cannibal Metaphysics
The iconoclastic Brazilian anthropologist and theoretician Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, well known in his discipline for helping initiate its "ontological turn," offers a vision of anthropology as "the practice of the permanent decolonization of thought." After showing that Amazonian and other Amerindian groups inhabit a radically different conceptual universe than ours--in which nature and culture, human and nonhuman, subject and object are conceived in terms that reverse our own--he presents the case for anthropology as the study of such "other" metaphysical schemes, and as the corresponding critique of the concepts imposed on them by the human sciences. Along the way, he spells out the consequences of this anthropology for thinking in general via a major reassessment of the work of Claude Lévi-Strauss, arguments for the continued relevance of Deleuze and Guattari, dialogues with the work of Philippe Descola, Bruno Latour, and Marilyn Strathern, and inventive treatments of problems of ontology, translation, and transformation. Bold, unexpected, and profound, Cannibal Metaphysics is one of the chief works marking anthropology's current return to the theoretical center stage.

Eduardo Viveiros de Castro
Der brasilianische Anthropologe Eduardo Viveiros de Castro beschäftigt sich mit den Vorurteilen gegenüber dem binären Denken, mit dem der strukturale Ethnologe Claude Lévi-Strauss assoziiert wird. Als Schlüssel zur Dekonstruktion dieses für ihn zu Unrecht verrufenen Schemas dient Viveiros de Castro zufolge die Mittellinie einer Gemeinschaft: » Mit anderen Worten müssen wir die Natur der inneren, die beiden Moieties trennenden Mittellinie begrifflich definieren[...] « In diesem Notizbuch wird die Mittellinie immer wieder neu verortet und dabei deutlich, dass das binäre System für Levi-Strauss keineswegs ein vereinfachender » modus operandi « gewesen ist. Schon zu Lebzeiten hat Lévi-Strauss den Dualismus problematisiert und dabei die Inkommensurabilität, den Chromatismus und die Dynamik dualer Strukturen mitgedacht. Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (*1951) ist ein brasilianischer Anthropologe und Professor am National Museum der Federal University von Rio de Janeiro. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch
The Relative Native
This volume is the first to collect the most influential essays and lectures of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Published in a wide variety of venues, and often difficult to find, the pieces are brought together here for the first time in a one major volume, which includes his momentous 1998 Cambridge University Lectures, "Cosmological Perspectivism in Amazonia and Elsewhere." Rounded out with new English translations of a number of previously unpublished works, the resulting book is a wide-ranging portrait of one of the towering figures of contemporary thought--philosopher, anthropologist, ethnographer, ethnologist, and more. With a new afterword by Roy Wagner elucidating Viveiros de Castro's work, influence, and legacy, The Relative Native will be required reading, further cementing Viveiros de Castro's position at the center of contemporary anthropological inquiry.
Perspectivismo e multinaturalismo na América indígena
Capítulo 7 do livro A inconstância da alma selvagem (São Paulo: Ubu, 2017) este artigo apresenta um dos conceitos fundamentais de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro: o perspectivismo. Além dele, são discutidas as diferenças entre natureza e cultura, multiculturalismo e multinaturalismo. Um texto essencial para o pensamento antropológico contemporâneo.
Metafísicas canibais
Com uma escrita erudita, poética e ao mesmo tempo militante, inventiva e mordaz, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro define este Metafísicas canibais como a resenha de um livro imaginário que jamais será capaz de terminar: O Anti-Narciso. O objetivo dessa obra inexistente seria a de "mostrar que os estilos de pensamento praticados pelos povos que estudamos são a força motriz [da antropologia]", operando um deslocamento na antropologia como aquele que O Anti-Édipo, de Deleuze e Guattari, realizou na filosofia. Se O Anti-Narciso nunca será escrito, fica deste Metafísicas canibais não só uma crítica contundente ao narcisismo de nossa cultura ocidental – que enxerga todo saber "outro" como ...
The Turn of the Native
Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro has been a vital force in anthropology for the past fifteen years. Here in The Turn of the Native, he and his students probe issues pertinent to the future of the discipline in a series of concise and sharp essays. They ask such questions as: Is identity a useful concept, or is it more like a contagious disease? Should we replace the traditional tactics of “othering” with something new? And is the objectification of culture simply cannibalism by another name? This hard-hitting pamphlet captures the fascinating debates emerging in the Brazilian school of “ethno-anthropology.”

The Ends of the World
The end of the world is a seemingly interminable topic Ð at least, of course, until it happens. Environmental catastrophe and planetary apocalypse are subjects of enduring fascination and, as ethnographic studies show, human cultures have approached them in very different ways. Indeed, in the face of the growing perception of the dire effects of global warming, some of these visions have been given a new lease on life. Information and analyses concerning the human causes and the catastrophic consequences of the planetary ‘crisis’ have been accumulating at an ever-increasing rate, mobilising popular opinion as well as academic reflection. In this book, philosopher Déborah Danowski and a...
