Keynote Lecture 2023

Other Anthropologies and their cosmopolitical challenges

SALSA XIV Biennial Conference 2023

Tania Stolze Lima, Universidade Federal Fluminense de Rio de Janeiro

Considering both our common interest in anthropological relationships that are neither hierarchical nor extractive, and our intention to situate ourselves within our own existential and research experiences, we intend to build our conversation around issues that affect us with particular force, although not in the same way or for the same reason: the creation of indigenous anthropologies, the risks of capture by academic structures, the critique of the division between ethnography and anthropology, the appropriation of “indigenous worlds,” and their reduction to raw material. The provocation we make to our dear anthropology of the Lowlands of South America is the following: Where did it jump? What other leaps/turns does it feel empowered to take?

Tania Stolze Lima is an ethnologist and associate professor of the PPGAS-at the Universidade Federal Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro. She is a researcher at NuTI-Núcleo de Transformações Indígenas and a participant in the Abaeté Symmetric Anthropology Network. She has long ethnographic experience with the Yudjá (Juruna) people in the Upper Xingu and specializes is the socio-cosmological systems of the indigenous Amazon. Her conceptualization of Yudjá perspectivism transformed Amazonian anthropology and had a renewing impact on contemporary anthropological theory.
