Anthropology, Intellectual history, Ontological turnAbstract
In this article we intend to present an investigation on the contribution that the ontological turn in contemporary anthropology can provide to intellectual history. It is thought as a response to the linguistic turn, especially by the ontological primacy given to existing ones, including nonhumans, which reinforces its antinarrativist and anti-textual materialist character. The work was divided into three parts: in the first, we present some features of intellectual history within and beyond the linguistic turn; in the second part, we present some ideas of the ontological turn in anthropology, embodied in symmetrical anthropology, Amerindian perspectivism and anthropology of nature; Finally, we use an empirical example of intellectual history in Brazil that can allow a reading of the work as the presence of two ontologies: the naturalism and the animism. It is the work Rebellion in the Backlands, by Euclides da Cunha.
