Abstract

ABSTRACT Faced with the opacity of other minds, we can either confirm the impossibility of knowing or try to make other minds transparent. Among the Amazonian Shuar, two opposed regimes of intention management embody these two options. One is associated with the predatory agency of arútam, the spirit of prominent elders; the other one with the pacifying agency of the Christian God. Secret vision quests and dialogic duels generate an instability of perspectives and a rule of self, premised on the opacity of persons. By contrast, projects of state legibility, the omniscient Christian God, and the public character of biblical revelations create the conditions for the rule of law, that is, a regime of intentions in which persons are transparent and people are held accountable in public. The novelty of this mode of governing opacity bears emphasis on and contrasts with the arguments stressing continuity in Amazonian engagements with alterity.

自治与法治：亚马逊舒阿尔人的治理不透明

摘要面对他人心智的不透明，我们可以确认不可能知道，也可以尝试让他人心智透明。在亚马逊舒阿尔人中，两种对立的意向管理制度体现了这两种选择。一个是与杰出长者的精神arútam的掠夺性代理有关；另一个是基督教上帝的安抚机构。秘密的视觉探索和对话决斗产生了视角的不稳定性和自我规则，前提是人的不透明性。相比之下，国家的易读性、无所不知的基督教上帝和圣经启示的公共性为法治创造了条件，也就是说，法治是一种意图制度，在这种制度中，人们是透明的，人们在公共场合承担责任。这种不透明治理模式的新颖性强调了亚马逊人与争吵的连续性，并与之形成对比。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
