| description |
The contribution of Amazonian anthropology to archaeologies of ontology is assessed in order to explore human/animals relations in the pre-Hispanic societies from the Middle and Lower Paraná River. Available archaeological information regarding Goya-Malabrigo pottery with zoomorphic appendages suggests that past ontological filters can be linked to animic or perspectivistic regimes. A more critical ontological turn, however, should go beyond representationalism and, instead of wondering what “worldviews” these zoomorphic figures express, it could benefit from focusing on its affective and agentive capacities. To this regard, the concepts of body transformation and “specification” are addressed, which led to considering other aspects and materials involved in human engagements with animals in the past. It is argued that practices commonly labeled as “material” (eg. subsistence) as well as those traditionally linked to “symbolic worlds” (e.g. animal representations) are both better understood as materially interwoven actions and relations involving multiple agencies, not just human ones. It is from this relational process that subjects, objects, materials, meanings, humans and animals emerge, without a priori ontological distinctions between them. |

Se retoman los aportes que la antropología amazónica ha realizado a las arqueologías preocupadas en los problemas ontológicos. El objetivo es abordar, a la luz de estas ideas, las relaciones humanos/animales en las sociedades prehispánicas del Paraná Medio e Inferior. La información arqueológica disponible sobre los modelados zoomorfos Goya-Malabrigo sugiere que los filtros ontológicos que operaron en el pasado fueron cercanos a un régimen animista o perspectivista. Sin embargo, se propone que un giro ontológico más crítico debería superar las interpretaciones representacionalistas de estos entidades (i.e. que “visión de mundo” expresan) para centrarse en sus capacidades de afectación. Esto llevó a poner el foco en los conceptos de transformación y especificación de los cuerpos y a explorar otras aristas y materiales involucrados en las relaciones humanos/animales en estas sociedades. Se propone que tanto los aspectos considerados tradicionalmente como “materiales” (por ej. subsistencia) como los que suelen asociarse al “mundo simbólico” (por ej. representación de animales) constituyen todos ellos entramados de acciones y relaciones que involucran múltiples agencias, no solo humanas. Es a partir de este tejido relacional que emergen objetos y sujetos, materiales y significados, animales y humanos, sin que puedan establecerse a priori distinciones ontológicas entre ellos. São retomadas as contribuições da antropologia amazônica para as arqueologias preocupadas com os problemas ontológicos. O objetivo é abordar, à luz dessas ideias, as relações humano / animal nas sociedades pré-hispânicas do Médio e Baixo Paraná. A informação arqueológica disponível nos modelos zoomórficos de Goya-Malabrigo sugere que os filtros ontológicos que operaram no passado estavam próximos de um regime animista ou perspectivo. No entanto, propõe-se que uma virada ontológica mais crítica deve superar as interpretações representacionalistas dessas entidades (ou seja, que "visão de mundo" que expressam) para se concentrar em suas capacidades de afetá-los. Isso levou a focar nos conceitos de transformação e especificação de corpos e a explorar outras arestas e materiais envolvidos nas relações humano / animal nessas sociedades. Propõe-se que tanto os aspectos tradicionalmente considerados "materiais" (por exemplo, subsistência) quanto aqueles que geralmente estão associados ao "mundo simbólico" (por exemplo, representação de animais) constituem redes de ações e relações que envolvem múltiplas agências, não apenas humanas. É desse tecido relacional que emergem objetos e sujeitos, materiais e significados, animais e humanos, sem que distinções ontológicas se estabeleçam a priori entre eles.
