Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the idea of edibility from an ontological conception of worlds inhabited by bodies that relate to each other and to the surrounding world in different ways. I will start the discussion by contextualizing the theme of edibility in Cultural Anthropology. Next, I will describe what can be referred to as an ontological change, as anthropology changes its epistemological approach to the world for an ontological apprehension of other possible worlds. The discussion will be grounded in understanding the terms worldview, associated with the notion of culture, and Weltbild, associated with the notion of ontology. This work is also backgrounded by the ideas of Viveiros de Castro, about Amerindian perspectivism, and Roy Wagner, with his process of “invention of culture”.
