| Sumario: | Starting from an anthropogenetic point of view that shapes the Modern thought, the paper proposes a provocative discussion between the limits of Western concepts of body and humanity – based upon a fundamental ontology – and the Amerindian perspectivism as a theoretical synthesis. The paper will work with the representativeness of two bodies (Michelangelo’s David and Davi Kopenawa, a Yanomami Shaman) and their potential contributions to think about other kindsof humanities, taking the implications of an animist ontology as an (anthropophagic) exercise of decolonization, also for the theoretical-epistemological discussions in the study of religion. |
