Ethnology as Speculative Metaphysics: Following his field research among the Araweté in northern Brazil, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro develops an "Anti-Narcissus" as a conceptual war machine, based on the ideas of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Gilles Deleuze, and Félix Guattari. In this way, cannibalism, multinaturalism, and perspectivism are mobilized as new conceptual frameworks that represent an alternative approach, allowing for a philosophical reconfiguration of ethnological anthropology, which continues to be influenced by the legacy of colonialism, as a "theory and practice of the permanent decolonization of thought.".
