The volume shows how people create and reinforce their conditions of being by employing different genres of transgression and by creatively shifting contexts of significance. Local socio-cosmic orders, the interrelation of creative genres (myth, verbal art, song, ritual, and handicrafts), and their changing frames of reference (from communal celebrations to wider political and commercial realms) demonstrate the relational, generative, and processual quality of Amerindian creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This volume is an outstanding piece of scholarship, which, from the standpoint of the processes of creation and creativity, accomplishes, in a good measure, a critique and reassessment of current styles on analyzing Amazonian sociality.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Juan Alvaro Echeverri\u003c\/strong\u003e, Universidad Nacional de Colombia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures, Ilustrations, Tables and Maps\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAnne Goletz\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e and \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eErnst Halbmayer \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart I.
