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
