ResumenThis book is an ethnography of the Arawetè, a Tupi-Guarani people of eastern American (middle Xingu, Brazil), that entends to situate them whitin the South American ethnological corpus – in particular , whitin the panorama of the etupi Gurani linguistic family . Its focus the description and interpretation of Arawetè cosmology, approached from the perspective of concepts about the person, death, Divinity, and systems of shamanism and warfare. The theme of divine canibalism, central to the Arawetè definition of the human condition, will be treated as a part of the complex of Tupi- Guarani ritual anthropophagy.
