The work develops themes including perspectivism, multinaturalism, intensive filiation, predation metaphysics, demonic alliances, and transversal shamanism. Organized into four parts, it connects Amazonian thought with critical reworkings of structuralism, capitalism, and concepts of production and becoming. Copyright, publication credits, and scholarly acknowledgments frame the book’s research lineage.","Univocal  \nCannibal Metaphysics  \nEduardo Viveiros de Castro  \nEdited and Translated by Peter Skafish  \nCANNIBAL METAPHYSICS  \nEDUARDO VIVE I ROS DE CASTRO  \nedited and translated by Peter Skafish  \nUNIVOCAL  \nMétaphysiques cannibales by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro © Presses Universitaires de France, 2009  \nTranslated by Peter Skafish as Cannibal Metaphysics First Edition Minneapolis © 2014, Univocal Publishing  \nPublished by Univocal  \n123 North 3rd Street, \\#202 Minneapolis, MN 55401  \n[www.univocalpublishing.com](www.univocalpublishing.com)  \nNo part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording or any other information storage or retrieval system, without prior permission in writing from the publisher.  \nDesigned & Printed by Jason Wagner Distributed by the University of Minnesota Press  \nISBN 978-1-937561-97-0  \nLibrary of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data A catalog record for this book is available from the Library of Congress  \nAcknowledgments  \nThe argument of this book has been nourished by research presented in the following publications that have since been adapted, revised, and considerably re-worked and developed during the course of the book’s editorial revisions.  \n1. “Perspectivismo e multinaturalismo na América idigena,” in  \nE.

Most of them appear in the bibliography of this present work. Nevertheless, I would like to mention the names of Tânia Stolze Lima, Marcio Goldman, Oiara Bonilla, Martin Holbraad, Peter Gow, Déborah Danowski, Marilyn Strathern, Bruno Latour, Marshall Sahlins, Casper Jensen, Philippe Descola and Anne-Christine Taylor, who should be thanked for having, each  \nin their own way, caused, inspired, supported, translated, critiqued, or in one way or another, improved the ideas put forward in this book.  \nA first version of this book was presented for the occasion of a series of conferences that took place at L’Institut d’études avancées de Paris (Maison Suger) in January 2009. I want to thank Yves Duroux and Claude Imbert for their generous invitation, the warm welcome, and the stimulating work environment they procured for me during those winter weeks. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank Patrice Maniglier who made this book possible by inviting me to take it on as a project and for providing the ideal context in which to publish it as well as for (literally!) making me write it. But more than anything else, I owe him gratitude for his own writings whose themes are quite close to mine and which inspired me to write this book simply by the fact that I had learned something new.  \nTable of Contents  \nIntroduction........................................................................................9  \nby Peter Skafish  \nPART ONE  \nAnti-Narcissus  \n1.
