Abstract

Este texto enfoca as interpenetrações entre os diferentes domínios do cosmos Kaingang, discutindo, principalmente, o papel do sistema xamânico como mediador entre esses domínios. Ao mesmo tempo, constitui-se numa tentativa de compreender a construção cultural do conceito de "natureza" da sociedade Kaingang, refletindo sobre sua concepção cosmológica dualista que enfatiza a fertilidade da junção de princípios percebidos como contrários.The present article focuses on the interrelationships between the different domains of the Kaingang cosmos. In particular, this article discusses the role of the shaman system as a mediator between these cosmic domains. The present reflection also attempts to understand how the Kaingang society culturally construes its idea of "nature," based on studies of this societies' dualistic cosmological conception, which emphasizes the fertility of uniting principles held to be in opposition.
