| contents | Beyond nature and the supernatural. Some reflections on religion, ethnicity and traditions of knowledge Fabio Mura Antropología Religion politics ethnicity cosmology tradition of knowledge Most studies of religion are founded on the relationship between nature and the supernatural. This dichotomy allows a supposedly mystical dimen - sion to be distinguished from a politically pragmatic dimension of human behaviour. In this view, therefore, religious conduct differs in nature from the political. Taking an opposite tack, this paper proposes to overcome this dichotomy by seeing the connections in this universe as primarily technical- political in kind, a result of the social organization of relations and interac - tions of individuals, considering religion as an organizational type. Thus, taking as examples the ethnographic Guarani-Kaiowa of Mato Grosso do Sul and Tabajara of Paraíba, I shall try to show how these indigenous people, each in their own way, establish connections in the universe, setting political communities, defining domestic and ethnic identities and drawing traditions of knowledge. 2014 artículo científico 1809-4341 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406941918014 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4069 VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Antropologia VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.11 |
