Description
Summary:This dossier seeks to discuss several issues frequently addressed in ethnographies of multiethnic and multilingual social formations in Lowland South America, such as: how collectives are articulated through exchange and ritual, the production of large scale and heterogenous social units, modes of hierarchy, and the ways in which different kinship systems seem to be associated with distinct configurations of supralocal organization. This presentation attempts to clarify some of the meanings that have been attributed to the concept of “multi-communitarian ensembles”.
