Sob a rubrica de uma "antropologia da vida", procuro expandir o alcance da etnografia para além dos limites humanos. Com base na pesquisa com os Runa da Alta Amazônia equatoriana e focando em propósitos heurísticos, em um dilema etnológico a respeito de como interpretar os sonhos dos cães, examino as relações, íntimas e intensas, que os Runa possuem com outras formas de vida. Enquadramentos analíticos forjados a partir do que é exclusivo dos humanos (língua, cultura, sociedade e história) ou, alternativamente, o que os humanos geralmente compartilham com os animais, são inadequados para essa tarefa. Por contraste, me volto para uma compreensão incorporada e emergente da semiose – que trata signos como inerentes à vida e não apenas restritos aos humanos -, assim como para uma apreciação às preocupações amazônicas sobre os pontos de vista habitados pelos selvesNT1 não-humanos, movendo a antropologia para além “do humano”, tanto analiticamente quanto como objeto de estudo.
