O fruto dourado: formas de conhecer e transformar o umari (Poraqueiba sericea): cosmotécnica na Amazônia indígena

Abstract

This research project aims to conduct an anthropological study on the processes involved in the transformation of umari (Poraqueiba sericea) by Amazonian populations, particularly Indigenous groups, based on historical, and ethnographic sources. To this end, the study seeks to identify the areas of distribution and occurrence of umari, map the modes of its collection and management, examine processing techniques, and document its uses and storage practices, as well as describe and establish connections with the mythological narratives of Amazonian peoples concerning the plant.
