Resumen

Este artigo trata da aprendizagem de habilidades entre pessoas que vivem ao longo dos rios da Amazônia no estado do Pará, Brasil. Aborda as relações regionais de aprendizagem e seus contextos de forma histórica e concentra-se nas atividades de pesca e cura xamânica. A questão que anima este artigo é esta: dadas as rupturas da história da Amazônia, como as habilidades foram transmitidas de uma geração para outra? Minha resposta explora o papel do rio nas habilidades de aprendizagem e na formação de vidas e na maneira como alguns amazônicos do século XVIII improvisaram o conhecimento e os recursos materiais da época e como alguns de seus descendentes construíram esse legado cerca de 250 anos depois. Compreender esses caminhos de aprendizagem é saber como relações de diferentes escalas são construídas através de laços pessoais, acesso a recursos e tecnologia. O rio fornece a estrutura para essas escalas.
