本文提出了一种非递归绕道，通过将“模棱两可”的视角概念应用于正在进行的生态政治近似。我将描述巴西气候学家和亚诺马米萨满如何将他们对亚马逊雨林的担忧传达给彼此的受众。借鉴他们的公开露面和发表的文本，有人会说，他们根据——他们所认为的——他者的概念想象和交流格式，模仿地重新表述了他们的环境思维。因此，萨满和科学家的连接姿态被视为公共生态政治对话的特殊形式的一部分，关注雨林的未来。尽管“模棱两可”的概念已被证明有助于揭示母语者和民族志学者的概念语言之间的翻译本体论差距，但本文的目的是着眼于递归的民族志自我之外的其他地方。特别是，该论证将关注特定行为者在特定情况下如何体现模棱两可和所谓的“本体论差异”，邀请我们描述这些差异实际上是如何被人类学家以外的人操纵和共同牵连的。
This article proposes a non-recursive detour for the perspectival concept of ‘equivocation’ by applying it to an ongoing ecopolitical approximation. I will describe how a Brazilian climatologist and a Yanomami shaman translate their concerns about the Amazonian rainforest in order to reach each other’s audiences. Drawing on their public appearances and published texts, it will be argued that they mimetically rephrase their environmental thinking according to – what they assume to be – the conceptual imagination and the formats of communication of the Other. The shaman’s and the scientist’s connective gestures are thus taken as part of an exceptional form of public, ecopolitical dialogue, concerned with the future of the rainforest. Whereas the concept of ‘equivocation’ has proven useful to disclose the translational–ontological gap between the native’s and the ethnographer’s conceptual languages, this article aims at looking somewhere else than the recursive, ethnographic Self. In particular, the argument will pay attention to how equivocations and the so-called ‘ontological differences’ might be embodied by specific actors, in specific situations, inviting us to describe how these differences are de facto navigated and co-implicated by people other than anthropologists.
