BODY AND GENDER FROM THE AMERINDIAN PERSPECTIVISM AND MULTINATURALISM

Abstract

This article focuses on a discussion about gender and body from the amerindian perspectivism and multinaturalism point of view (Viveiros de Castro, 2004), given its capacity to conceive the existence of multiple natures from the multiplicity of the bodys, all crossed by a condition of humanity. There is a great production concerning the concept of gender which meaning is in a constant dispute. Here, particularly, I focus on a specific aspect of this concept: the western and colonial separation between nature and culture.
