Synopsis How is one to understand the real presence of the beings and characters represented in the rituals and art of Amerindian peoples? Following Gell and Severi, the idea that images have “agency” is currently accepted but could lead to simplifications since artifacts and other ritual actors do not simply have agentivity but condense a multiplicity of forms of symbolization. Amerindian cosmologies recognize the world as unstable and the emphasis is on the need to control processes.
