| Summary: | Vegetation is a strategy that emerges as a singular proposal to inhabit, create and make the world. Privileging the relationship between humans and other than humans, such as plants, animals, minerals and objects, is to highlight the potential of indigenous cosmovisions that question the assumptions and dualisms present in the Western perspective. Studies in contemporary ethnology, and especially in the Amazonian debate, were mainly marked by the human-animal relationship (Lima, 1996; Viveiros de Castro, 2002; Fausto, 2008). Although previous works, especially by women researchers, have highlighted the importance of plant images (Lea, 1986; McCallum, 1996; Farage, 1997; Lagrou, 2007; Carneiro da Cunha, 2007, among others), this topic has only recently gained prominence. in ethnological debates. To think about the plants of and in the relationship is to understand them from another ontology, which does not dichotomize living organisms in the environment, but privileges the action of mixing, crossings and transformation as a modus operandi to be in and with possible worlds.
