Anarcho-indigenous perspectivist dialectics

Abstract

I present a theoretical hypothesis for the dialogue between Amerindian and anarchist political forms through anthropology, highlighting anarchist influence on the discipline and the contributions this dialogue can bring to anarchism as well as to anthropology. Resemblances between Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s and Claude Lévi-Strauss' reflections will be pointed from that anarchist’s perspective that may have influenced this americanist anthropologist. Such resonances are unfolded by the study of the “federative principle” through proudhonian “political dualism” compared to the “dualism in perpetual imbalance made politics”  researched by Beatriz Perrone-Moisés and Renato Sztutman associated with Amerindian “political forms”. From this meeting point some deviations turn aside from politics, pointing to indigenous theoretical and organizational contributions
to anarchism, especially considering A’uwe-Xavante’s alternatives, on which I  develop an ethnographical research. Such contributions also affect a certain anthropology connected with anarchism, both transformed by “indianity”.
