Resumo
This work started from the analysis of the Karajá collection of the American anthropologist
William Lipkind, kept in the Museu Nacional collection (UFRJ – Brazil). The analysis was
focused on the shaman‟s things, as the obi, the hitxiwa and the rata(k)ana, which were
presented through photographic cards to some Karajá interlocutors in the village of Santa
Isabel do Morro (TO). From a brief ethnographic experience, it was possible to reach the
ideas presented here. These shaman's things pointed to the specificity of the movement of
“being” in the Karajá cosmos, configuring the nonindigenous “world” as one of the possible
places in this cosmos where these things circulate. In the system of meanings shared by the
karajá, the concept of object, lifeless and inert, is far from the subjectivity and life present in
the relationships surrounding things. This Karajá approach leads us to rethink the status of
collection items and the way they were and are collected, at the same time that they raise
some questions about the need and the significance to store and expose such things in
museums.
