Abstract
This work develops the first chapter of my doctoral thesis. It presents an unprecedented approach to the relationship between the Enchantment of the Tremembé indigenous people – beings of the forest that are present in the Tremembé cosmogony –, and the Spirit-Image (utupë) of the Yanomani indigenous people – the true interior of forest beings in the Yanomani cosmogony. The central question arises: Is the Spirit-Image (utupë) necessary to see Enchantment? The chapter problematizes indigenous knowledge from these peoples separated by their identity, but who share the belief in forest beings and their representations within each cosmovision.Finally, the connection between these two concepts is questioned, which share the (in)visibility, the representation of mythical ancestors and the ability to keep images as the essence of life.
