Abstract

The purpose of this article is to promote an analysis of the kinship dynamics in the Amazon taking the procedures that undo it, or the decision not to do it, as indices of the influence of the otherness administration method, characteristic of South America lowlands societies. The multiple possible modulations that the Amerindian subject can assume in the multinaturalist ontology, here, lead us to questions that allow an analysis that connects the interspecific alliances of the perspectivist environment with the interpersonal relations of the kinship processes and the intercommunal networks that connect the different communities in the Amazon, as procedures that operate within the same cosmopolitical complex.
