Vilaca turns to a vast range of historical, ethnographic and mythological material related to both the Wari' and missionaries perspectives and the author's own ethnographic field notes from her more than 30-year involvement with the Wari' community. Developing a close dialogue between the Melanesian literature, which informs much of the recent work in the Anthropology of Christianity, and the concepts and theories deriving from Amazonian ethnology, in particular the notions of openness to the other, unstable dualism and perspectivism, the author provides a fine-grained analysis of the equivocations and paradoxes that underlie the translation processes performed by the different agents involved and their implications for the transformation of the native notion of personhood.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Anthropology of ChristianityTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
