“…In particular, it is "not confined to the theatrical or role-playing moment (that is, a discreet 'performance') but is meant to reflect the fact that ethnography itself…is a cultural performance" (Whitehead 2009, 1). Whitehead's performative project emerged as a research strategy to ethnographically understand digital subjectivity, because online "without participation there is nothing to study" (2009, 3).…”

“…Despite the vast literature on intersubjectivity and selfreflexivity in ethnographic encounters, researchers are often unaware that they shape and influence "the field" in these multiple dimensions. This chapter explores emergent participatory methods that serve as "performative vehicles" (Whitehead 2009, 3) for anthropological research that actively interacts with these dimensions. In following this volume's focus on locating innovative grounded research practices "underneath" theoretical debates, this chapter suggests a fundamental rearticulation of the relationship between "researcher" and "researched.…”

“…A estas perspectivas antropológicas, los planteamientos de Latour (2013), Haraway (1995) y Whitehead (2009) añaden discusiones importantes que plantean que la separación naturaleza/cultura cimiente de la modernidad no puede ser más sostenida, ya que por el influjo tecnológico estaríamos hablando de una segunda naturaleza, y de seres cyborg, compuestos por una hibridez orgánica, cultural, tecnológica.…”

El artículo ofrece un recorrido conceptual por la antropología en el tratamiento de la relación entre las sociedades y el ambiente, que tuvo un punto de inflexión a partir de la denominada “antropología de la naturaleza”. Este trabajo repiensa conceptos fundacionales como adaptación, naturaleza, cultura, alteridad y persona. El objetivo del artículo es abordar el quiebre paradigmático que ha permitido a la antropología enlaces y diálogos con otras disciplinas como la ecología, sociolingüística y la filosofía, atentas a la complejidad y que sugieren la unicidad entre naturaleza y cultura, en oposición a los enfoques dicotómicos y fragmentarios que las separan. En lo metodológico se procedió a la revisión y contraste de teorías y enfoques entre los campos disciplinarios señalados. El artículo presenta también algunas aproximaciones entre lo teórico y lo empírico, con ejemplos tomados de literatura sobre los Andes y Amazonía. En las conclusiones se señala la pertinencia que ha tenido el énfasis de la antropología de la naturaleza en enfocarse en la subjetividad y agencialidad de los seres no-humanos, y resignificar la categoría filosófica de persona desde el multinaturalismo, produciendo un giro ontológico que ha permitido enriquecer el debate sobre aquello que se considera sujeto agente en el mundo y por tanto sujeto de derecho, con planteamientos éticos para tratar las problemáticas del antropoceno.

“…More generally, this reflects changes in 21st knowledge production, from science to a world of more inclusive research, wherein overcoming uncertainty and difference, as often as not, involves embracing it, making things familiar, and in so doing expanding its reach (Gibbons 2000, Latour 1998 1 . In this sense, the idea of Amazonian multi-naturalism is an 'incendiary device', a bomb (Latour 2009, Viveiros de Castro 2002, which resonates with critical feminist, post-colonial and post-humanist strands of political ecology (Biro 2011, Slater 2003, Whitehead 2009, Wolfe 2009).…”

Who is Amazonia? The ‘salt of the matter’ for indigenous sustainability

The recent article 'Ash salts and bodily affects: Witoto environmental knowledge as sexual education' (Echeverri and Román-Jitdutjaãno 2013 Environ. Res. Lett. 8 015008) considers indigenous people and their distinctive knowledge systems in the western Amazon. These complex systems provide richly detailed practical knowledge about life in these tropical forests, which today many see as well populated and rich in cultural heritage. Through a careful analysis of ash salts and salt-making and the technologies and bodily affects associated with it, the authors suggest native Amazonian peoples see environmental knowledge not in terms of natural resources but instead how they interact with and produce human bodies in social networks, as a form of sexual education and, by extension, public health. It also highlights the critical importance of social relations as part of research, and the politics of nature, with important implications for contemporary debate and research on biodiversity, sustainability, climate change and human rights, specifically what types of agreements are entailed in scientific research that is not only robust but socially responsible.
