The communicating materialities. The speaking non-objects of the digital Amazon Forest

The article presents the performance and communicative qualities of a few materials present in some Amazon regions. Concomitantly, the article addresses the communicational relations between humans and non-humans from the perspective of two ethnic groups in the Amazon: the Krahô and Sateré-Mawé. In addition to the non-anthropocentric description, the article combines the ethnography and geolocation mapping methodological techniques. It also addresses the digital transformation of these non-objects, their displacements, and their new lives in digital networks. The result of both studies shows the impossibility of defining such materiality, alive and interacting, through the use of Western categories based on the ontological distinction between subject and object.
