Pessoas que se comunicam com animais: uma análise fenomenológica

Abstract

The present work sought to address the experience of people who communicate with animals. For that, a research was carried out on the experience of the Juruna, Wari' and Makuna Amazonian peoples on this subject. In addition, a semi-open interview was also carried out with a person who works with intuitive communication with animals. This report underwent an analysis based on 3 constellations created by the author of this work and which resulted from the unifying meanings that the report itself presented. They are: Humans and non-humans; Openness and understanding for what is presented, in its time; Source, destination and cure. By pointing out the relationships of meaning in his discourse and relating it to the experiences of Amazonian peoples who establish their own way of being with animals, it was found that there are non-hegemonic ways of understanding themselves and others that often escape premises. commonly established philosophical and scientific In the white West, we define Nature historically as what we must contemplate, dominate and subjugate, and we place ourselves sometimes inside it, sometimes outside it, but in all cases, once defined, this conception becomes a historical constant in which all beings occupy a position preset. In the case of Juruna cosmology, this division between nature and culture cannot be thought of in the same way. The result of the research points to the relational character in front of everything that is found. Nevertheless, subjects always occupy interchangeable positions towards others and towards themselves
