This project is a comparative study of indigenous "cosmopolitical diplomatic events". We borrow the expression "cosmopolitical diplomacies" from Sciences Studies field, especially from the writings of I. Stengers and B. Latour in order to try out a partial connection between those studies and americanism ethnology. What leads us to this is the issue, faced in diverse ways by both areas of…
The prophet and the principal: Amerindian political agency and its characters - this book (a revised and quite modified version of my PhD dissertation) focuses on the relationship, among the ancient Tupi of Brazilian coast, between prophetism and political domain. It returns to some classic discussions that play an important role in anthropology's history, as those carried out by Pierre a…
In this project, I aim to conduct an ethnographic investigation on the modes of political action articulated by the Mebengokre-Xikrin, as well as the alliances formed in the process of confronting large-scale mining operations by Vale S.A. that directly impact their territory. Specifically, I intend to understand how the Xikrin do Cateté people coexist with mining from their cosmological …
The present research project aims to undertake a reflection on the 2022 and 2023 editions of Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL), emphasizing, especially, the relationship between the indigenous movement and the so-called "anti-capitalist struggles". From an ethnography of the Camps, we intend to carry out a comparative analysis between the elements observed in both editions, thinking about the…

Based on contemporary problematizations of the nature/society distinction, we seek to understand the extent to which anthropology can contribute to ecological think…

The objective of this research is to analyze cosmopolitical problems and proposals engendered by the community of Sarayaku, Kichwa people from the Ecuadorian Amazon, through their proposal Kawsak Sacha/Living Forest. The living forest is a call for juridical-political recognition of the existence of beings (runas) "other than humans", as well as a demand for alternatives to extractivism a…
In accompanying the political activities around the Indigenous Council of the Tapajós and Arapiuns Rivers, I intend to understand the conceptions of time and war in the region's indigenous politics. Taking seriously the recurrence of talks around their own identities (we have always been native-indigenous people) and the current political moment in which they live (we are in war), I can r…

This research internshi…
The aim of this project - grounded on a bibliographical and comparative survey - is to investigate a "partial connection" between the cosmopolitical problems (and proposals) raised among Amerindian and modern perspectives. More precisely, it tends to suggest a connection between contemporary Americanist anthropology and Science and Technology Studies, represented here especially by Stenge…
