Anthropologist, creator of Amerindian perspectivism.
Americanist ethnologist with research experience in Amazonia. He coined the concept of Amerindian perspectivism, earning a place as one of the world’s leading anthropologists. Together with Déborah Danowski he wrote the thought-provoking book ¿Hay mundo por venir? in which they analyse the spread of narratives about the end of the world and the evolution of the human species in the context of the Anthropocene, when the species is compromising its own survival and that of other living things on the earth. Other books by this author include Metafísicas caníbales (Katz, 2010) and La mirada del jaguar (Tinta Limón, 2008). He has conducted research and lectured at the world’s leading universities. He is professor of Ethnology at the National Museum / UFRJ in Brazil.
