Abstract

Cet article discute la signification du perspectivisme amerindien, c'est-a-dire les idees qui concernent la facon dont les humains, les animaux et les esprits se percoivent eux-memes et se percoivent les uns les autres dans les cosmologies amerindiennes. Ces idees suggerent la possibilite de redefinir les categories classiques de nature, culture et supernature sur la base des concepts de perspective ou de point de vue. L'article soutient plus particulierement que l'antinomie entre deux caracterisations de la pensee indigene - d'une part l'ethnocentrisme selon lequel les attributs de l'humanite seraient refuses aux humains appartenant a d'autres groupes, et d'autre part l'animisme, qui appliquerait ces qualites humaines par extension a des etres appartenant a d'autres especes - peut etre resolue si l'on considere la difference entre les aspects spirituels et corporels des etres.

  • The Policeman transforms into a Monster but only with the aim to impose his own Chachi Human perspective in the end; to dominate metamorphosis one first needs to be 'on equal terms' with one's non-Human adversary; one can only beat the monstrous by first joining it.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
