Xamanismo e enteogenia ameríndia: A ayahuasca e outras “plantas de poder” em contextos indigenistas e vegetalistas amazônicos

Aceno - Revista de Antropologia do Centro-Oeste July 7, 2019 Wagner Lins Lira 1 citation

This essay reflects on cultural and ethnological phenomena related to Amerindian knowledge and perspectives on the use of entheogenic substances, tangentially the ayahuasca beverage, whose roots lie in indigenous contexts since pre-Columbian times. It also discusses vegetalista shamanism in rural and urban areas, where healing and sorcery techniques align with Catholicism and European esotericism in ways that allude to the mythical and ritualistic reinterpretation of consuming 'power plants.' Finally, it indicates how such knowledge is re-signified in light of contemporary South American models, allowing dialogue among doctors, psychologists, and shamans focused on treating individuals affected by substance addictions.

Entre Karuwaras e Caboclos: pajelança, territorialidade e relações afroindígenas entre os Tenetehar-Tembé do alto rio Guamá (PA)

Aceno - Revista de Antropologia do Centro-Oeste June 14, 2022 Benedito Emílio da Silva Ribeiro, Daniel J. Fonseca

Tembé shamanic practices in the Alto Rio Guamá Indigenous Land, northeastern Pará, Brazil, incorporate elements of African and European origin alongside Indigenous traditions, revealing afroindigenous relations within villages. The study maps the specificities of pajelança—shamanic healing and ritual practices—among the Tembé do Guamá, showing how these people creatively integrated exogenous elements to enhance their traditional practices and demarcate aspects of their identity and territoriality.
