Wajãpi
Abstract in Portuguese
Esta pesquisa, realizada entre os Wajãpi (grupo Tupi-Guarani, localizado no Amapá) tem como cerne os modos wajãpi de conhecer a floresta. Tomando como fio condutor os saberes e os enunciados sobre as plantas que a compõe, a tese se inicia com uma análise das formas de classificação dos vegetais (suas composições, arranjos e operacionalizações na vida cotidiana), para, em seguida, enveredar pelos modos de percepção que orientam as relações travadas entre os Wajãpi, os vegetais e outros habitantes da floresta (tais como animais, donos, espíritos, etc.), para, por fim, abordar as concepções nativas sobre o conhecimento e o aprendizado. Essa etnografia é apresentada tendo como linha de fuga uma reflexão acerca dos modos científicos de produção do saber botânico, a qual foi elaborada a partir de uma pesquisa de campo junto a alguns taxonomistas e da leitura de uma bibliografia pertinente. A presença dessa análise concisa não tem, todavia, o objetivo de uma comparação estrita entre ciência e conhecimento wajãpi, mas antes matizar em um jogo de aproximações e distanciamentos os processos em ambos os contextos, visando um melhor entendimento tanto dos modos wajãpi de conhecer, bem como evidenciar aspectos de algumas analises teóricas que se debruçaram sobre a temática do conhecimento tradicional, tendo como oposição uma concepção estabilizada de ciência.

Abstract in English
This research among the Wajãpi indians (Tupi-Guarani group) from Amapá (BR), it has its core in the wajãpi ways of knowing the forest. Taking as a guide the knowledge and the statements about the plants that comprise the forest that surrounds them, the thesis begins with an analysis of the forms of plant classification (its compositions, arrangements and operationalization in everyday life), to then pursue modes of perceptions that guide the relations between the Wajãpi, vegetables and other forest dwellers (such as animals, masters, spirits ...), to finally address their conceptions about knowledge and learning. This ethnography is presented with a line of flight which comprises a reflection on the scientific mode of production of botanical knowledge, which was developed from a field research with some plant taxonomists and a perusal of relevant literature. The presence of this concise analysis on botany has not, however, the goal of a strict comparison between science and wajãpi knowledge, but to compound - in a motion of similarities and differences - the processes in both contexts, aiming a better understanding of both the wajãpi ways of knowing, as well as show some aspects of theoretical analyzes of traditional knowledge which are based on a stabilized conception of science.
