La teoria degli schemi della pratica di Descola e il caso etnografico dei Wayùu

Abstract

The chapter traces Descola's interest in the collocation of the cosmology of the indigenous Wayùu people of the Guajira peninsula within his typology of ontologies and modes of identification. It also deals with the positions of those scholars who have proposed reinterpretations of Wayùu ethnography in the light of Descola's theory of the patterns of practice exposed in 'Beyond Nature et Culture'
