| Abstract | |
The sateré-mawé presence in the city of Manaus (Amazonas, Brazil) is made particularly apparent by the communities and associations that started to appear in the city in the 1990s, from occupations which involved strong female leadership. The craftwork made with seeds has become one of the main life strategies of sateré-mawé women in the urban area, as opposed to the work in so-called \"family homes\". These seeds, used in the production of necklaces and bracelets, have their own paths, which destabilize boundaries between urban area, forest area, town and village. The paths of seeds mobilize a broad circulation of persons, knowledges, stories and things, forming a specific circuit. Planting practices, seed collection, seed exchanges and other forms of acquisition, as well as the transformation of seeds into objects that circulate in different locations and contexts, point to a reversal between agent and patient: from passive objects of human action, the seeds become mediator agents of human relationships, while also mediating particular ways to experience the urban space.
