Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Comment rendre compte de la perception de l’environnement propre aux Mirana, societe amerindienne d’Amazonie colombienne? Quel discours portent-ils sur leur corps? Comment construisent-ils la difference des sexes? Qui participe selon eux – et sous quelle forme – a la constitution et au developpement du foetus? Les reponses a ces questions, et d’autres donnees issues d’une enquete de terrain dans lesquelles le materiau mythologique est tres present, construisent la trame de l’ouvrage. Mais en quoi l’ethnographie d’un petit groupe amazonien peut-elle susciter un regard neuf sur des problemes plus generaux de l’anthropologie contemporaine? La facon dont les Mirana pensent leur corps permet de comprendre leur perception de l’environnement, et vice versa. Cela ouvre une piste fructueuse pour l’analyse des processus conceptuels impliques dans l’edification des savoirs. En partant d’un des universaux de l’esprit humain, l’anthropomorphisme, ce livre demonte la logique de connaissance a l’oeuvre au sein d’une societe amazonienne, qui exploite systematiquement les relations instituees entre corps et milieu ambiant. Il debouche sur cette question: avant d’etre organe d’emotion, le corps n’est-il pas raison?
