“…Just as presentations of the self diverge across multiple offline contexts, be they domestic, educational, or professional, online and offline selves do not necessarily have to replicate one another, much less entirely align, in order to be "real" enactments. As anthropologists have long pointed out, the concept of the "divisible self" enables an understanding of the self as socially constituted and frequently divergently so in different contexts (Marriott 1976;Strathern 1988). Users' doubling (or tripling, quadrupling, etc.…”

“…The ways in which "connectivity" or "accessibility" is debated in contemporary technological cultures are of utmost importance for anthropologists, as this allows us to reflect on issues of personhood, subjectivity, and sociality. This draws attention to the dividuality of personhood (Marriott 1976;LiPuma 1998;Strathern 1988;Pype 2011) and opens up new realms for the study of agency, social (im)mobility, and power (De Bruijn and Van Dijk 2012). While personhood, the self, and interactions with Others (often spiritual others) have been studied within the medical and religious spheres, Pentecostal reflections on communication technologies force us to perceive the ways in which "contact" with Others (social and/or spiritual) can be initiated, mediated, evaluated, broken off, and even repaired.…”

“…Se o parentesco, como afirmou Viveiros de Castro (2002), for um processo infinito de retirada de afinidade, entre os Jarawara essa "despotencialização da afinidade" remeteria justamente às intenções de embelezar, de cuidar, de criar, de seduzir.

“…Se o parentesco jarawara fosse um movimento, seria um movimento de sedução. Se ele fosse um domínio, seria aquele em que "cônjuges", "filhos", "plantas" e "mortos" seriam termos privilegiados para pensarmos os outros, ou "metáforas que participam umas nas outras" (Strathern 1988:188, tradução livre). *** Procurei aqui discorrer sobre o "parentesco jarawara".…”
