Cet article discute la signification du perspectivisme amerindien, c'est-a-dire les idees qui concernent la facon dont les humains, les animaux et les esprits se percoivent eux-memes et se percoivent les uns les autres dans les cosmologies amerindiennes. Ces idees suggerent la possibilite de redefinir les categories classiques de nature, culture et supernature sur la base des concepts de perspective ou de point de vue. L'article soutient plus particulierement que l'antinomie entre deux caracterisations de la pensee indigene - d'une part l'ethnocentrisme selon lequel les attributs de l'humanite seraient refuses aux humains appartenant a d'autres groupes, et d'autre part l'animisme, qui appliquerait ces qualites humaines par extension a des etres appartenant a d'autres especes - peut etre resolue si l'on considere la difference entre les aspects spirituels et corporels des etres.read more

TL;DR: In the course of these arguments, a central problem emerged: the origin of property as discussed by the authors, and the search for an ultimate origin means that from John of Paris and Ockham in the fourteenth century, through the Spanish scholastics of the sixteenth century to Grotius and John Locke in the seventeenth century, jurists and political theorists argued about an origin outside historical time in a state of nature or in an original delegation by God to Adam.

The Elephant in the Handaxe: Lower Palaeolithic Ontologies and Representations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that proboscideans had a dual dietary and cosmological significance for early humans during Lower Palaeolithic times, and the persistent production and use of the ultimate megaherbivore processing tool, the handaxe, coupled with the conspicuous presence of handaxes made of elephant bones, serve as silent testimony for the elephant-handaxe ontological nexus.
