Abstract

This work focuses on Curt Nimuendajú’s ethnographic production about the Ticuna. The analysis examines the alignments between anthropologists, scientific institutions and philanthropic agencies that financed ethnographic research between 1930 and 1945, whose subject matter was the definition of “culture areas”, which came to be strategically defined as “geographic areas”. During war times, Indigenous groups on the Amazon frontier would be seen as symbols of Pan American Integration in projects such as those conducted by Julian Steward for the Smithsonian Institution. It is rather the case of an “anthropological front”. During war times the cultural frontier would be connected to the “economic frontier” as native rubber became a strategic product in a strategic region. This work focuses on the discussions between anthropologists who took part in the evaluation of Nimuendajú’s fieldwork grants.
