Resumen del libro

The iconoclastic Brazilian anthropologist and theoretician Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, well known in his discipline for helping initiate its ontological turn, offers a vision of anthropology as the practice of the permanent decolonization of thought. After showing that Amazonian and other Amerindian groups inhabit a radically different conceptual universe than ours in which nature and culture, human and nonhuman, subject and object are conceived in terms that reverse our own he presents the case for anthropology as the study of such other metaphysical schemes, and as the corresponding critique of the concepts imposed on them by the human sciences. Along the way, he spells out the consequences of this anthropology for thinking in general via a major reassessment of the work of Claude Levi-Strauss, arguments for the continued relevance of Deleuze and Guattari, dialogues with the work of Philippe Descola, Bruno Latour, and Marilyn Strathern, and inventive treatments of problems of ontology, translation, and transformation. Bold, unexpected, and profound, "Cannibal Metaphysics" is one of the chief works marking anthropology s current return to the theoretical center stage.
