Frontmatter -- Contents -- Figures -- Foreword -- Acknowledgements -- INTRODUCTION Altering Ownership in Amazonia -- CHAPTER 1 Masters, Slaves and Real People Native Understandings of Ownership and Humanness in Tropical American Capturing Societies -- CHAPTER 2 First Contacts, Slavery and Kinship in North-Eastern Amazonia -- CHAPTER 3 Fabricating Necessity: Feeding and Commensality in Western Amazonia -- CHAPTER 4 Parasitism and Subjection: Modes of Paumari Predation -- CHAPTER 5 How Much for a Song? The Culture of Calculation and the Calculation of Culture -- CHAPTER 6 The Forgotten Pattern and the Stolen Design: Contract, Exchange and Creativity among the Kĩsêdjê -- CHAPTER 7 Doubles and Owners: Relations of Knowledge, Property and Authorship among the Marubo -- CHAPTER 8 Ownership and Well-Being among the Mebêngôkre-Xikrin: Differentiation and Ritual Crisis -- CHAPTER 9 Temporalities of Ownership: Land Possession and Its Transformations among the Tupinambá (Bahia, Brazil) -- Index
Summary: The first book to address the classic anthropological theme of property through the ethnography of Amazonia, Ownership and Nurture sets new and challenging terms for anthropological debates about the region and about property in general. Property and ownership have special significance and carry specific meanings in Amazonia, which has been portrayed as the antithesis of Western, property-based, civilization. Through carefully constructed studies of land ownership, slavery, shamanism, spirit mastery, aesthetics, and intellectual property, this volume demonstrates that property relations are of central importance in Amazonia, and that the ownership of persons plays an especially significant role in native cosmology.
