Resumen de Moral Sources and the Reproduction of the Amazonian Package
This article claims that lowland South American indigenous peoples have reproduced some form of the �Amazonian package�: mutually imbricated understandings to the effect that human bodies are fabricated socially, that this occurs in the context of a perspectival cosmos, and that relations with dangerous outside others are indispensable to this process. The spread and relatively conservative reproduction of these understandings pose a causal historical question. Extrapolating from a description of the package as it appears among People of the Center (Colombian Amazon), the article makes the case that this reproduction may be tied to the package�s constitutive role in shaping morally evaluative, motivating pictures of what it is to be a good or admirable human being.
