DOS SANTOS LABONTE, Gesinei; SANCHEZ, Gabriel; CARNEIRO BATISTA, Ramiro Esdras y VANDER VELDEN, felipe. Taming, Familiarizing, Animalizing: Techniques to Make Hunting Dogs in the Amazon Florest. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2021, n.40, pp.25-50. Epub 05-Abr-2022. ISSN 1794-2489. https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n40.02.
based on data on three Amerindian populations from different regions and languages-Palikur-Arukwayene (Arawak), Kujubim (Txapakura) and Karitiana (Tupi-Arikêm)- this article seeks to illuminate some issues concerning the position of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) in Amerindian worlds. With a focus on the preparation of hunting dogs, our goal is to discuss the existence of recurrences in treatments aimed at making dogs good hunters: the difference between dogs that hunt and dogs that do not hunt; the dog as a hunting companion that needs to be made; and the techniques of preparing dogs through the conjunction between these animals and parts of other beings’ bodies. These themes point to a fourth recurrence: although domestic and ‘humanized’ animals, dogs must have induced an animal becoming, so that they can become efficient hunters. There is a constant balance between taming and animalizing dogs, in the search for a precarious balance between animal and human that is similar to the constitution of human persons.
