Аннотация: A problem of particular concern in the literature on animistic systems is the status of hunting and food consumption in societies whose ontology is not founded upon a distinction between humans and animals. If animals are people, how can one distinguish between everyday eating and cannibalism? Commensality is a vector for producingПоказать полностьюkinship among humans, a mechanism which depends on the transformation of the animal prey into an object devoid of intentionality. Indigenous techniques for desubjectivizing prey are based on a specific conception of the person that is not reducible to a simple body-and-soul dualism. A new theoretical formulation for this partibility sheds light on warfare and funerary anthropophagy in Amazonia. © 2007 by The Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research.
