Vital Diplomacy focuses on this major ceremonial cycle to shed new light on classic Amazonian themes such as kinship, gender, manioc cultivation and cuisine, relations with non-humans and foreigners, and the interplay of myth and practice, exploring how ritual contains and diverts the threat of violence by reconciling antagonistic spirits, coordinating social and gender divides, and channelling foreign relations and resources. 650 0 $a Indians of South America $z Brazil $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Rites and ceremonies $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Anthropology $z Brazil. 830 0 $a Ethnography, theory, experiment ; $v v. 5. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210020228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E2FF554580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
