metadata.dc.description.resumo: Recent scientific discoveries about plant intelligence are forcing anthropologists to reconsider indigenous theories of plant vitality. In this article, the authors compare original ethnographic and ethnobotanical research among two different peoples from opposite ends of lowland South America—the Makushi of Guyana and the Matsigenka of southern Peru—and explore how the somatic experiences and chemosensory properties of plants permeate indigenous understandings of disease etiology and medical efficacy in both cosmological and microbiological domains.
Abstract: Descobertas científicas recentes sobre a inteligência das plantas estão forçando os antropólogos a reconsiderar as teorias indígenas da vitalidade das plantas. Neste artigo, os autores comparam pesquisas etnográficas e etnobotânicas originais entre dois povos diferentes de extremos opostos das terras baixas da América do Sul - os Makushi da Guiana e os Matsigenka do sul do Peru - e exploram como as experiências somáticas e as propriedades quimiossensoriais das plantas permeiam a compreensão indígena da etiologia da doença e da eficácia médica nos domínios cosmológico e microbiológico.
