Percepções da presa
caça, sedução e metamorfose entre os Yukaghirs da Sibéria
Keywords:
Yukaghir, Sibéria, caça, transformação humano-animal, pessoalidadeAbstract
For the Siberian Yukaghirs prey is seen as a female lover, who needs to “give herself up” to the male hunter out of sexual desire for him. Accordingly, the hunter seeks to seduce prey by transforming his body in its image. However, this attempt is risky and may result in him loosing his original species adherence. For this reason, the process of hunting is opposed within the human encampment by a counter-process, implying the hunter’s attempt to purge otherness from the self and to reconstruct his human personhood. However, even here, the hunter is not just himself, since he is believed to be the incarnation of a dead relative. The point I want to stress is that stable selves or persons are indeed impossible to maintain among the Yukaghirs, where no one is ever just himself, but always someone else as well.
