Abstract

More a s peech th an a n a rticle, this text is an ethnographic account of a movement to recreate shamanism that has animated the Yudjá people in the last five years and which was triggered by their encounter with ayahuasca. In order to unfold my own encounter with this encounter, I seek to create a proximity or affinity between the Yudjá movement, the Deleuze-guattarian concept of assemblages, and some dimensions of Félix Guattari ’s ecosophy and Isabelle Stengers’ cosmopolit ics.
