The article discusses the relationships between the Ashaninka people from Peruvian Amazonia and the domesticated sedges (Cyperus spp.) cultivated in almost every Ashaninka home garden, and mostly exchanged within family circles. An over-differentiation phenomenon is observed, in which four species of Cyperus correspond to 86 folk species. The names of folk species are formed by secondary lexemes, composed of a semantically active constituent and a generic suffix (i)benki. The names contain mnemonic cues to differentiate otherwise morphologically similar plants, and their meanings correspond to Ashaninka ontological categories, thus revealing many levels of connectivity between them and non-humans. The wide scope of specific uses (approx. 60 registered) assigned to Cyperus spp. is only partly supported by phytochemicals and ergot alkaloids in the fungus-infested sedges. The key to understanding the ibenki’s (Cyperus) agency lies in local cosmologies, in which domesticated sedges are viewed as plant-persons and kin. The Ashaninka are engaged in producing the bodies of their kin, the ibenki. Simultaneously, ibenki are powerful allies in restoring harmonious social relations and protecting people against the intentional actions of other humans and non-humans.

西方亚马逊社会与驯化莎草(Cyperus spp。)之间的关系

本文讨论了来自秘鲁亚马逊河地区的Ashaninka人与几乎在每个Ashaninka家庭花园中种植的,并在家庭圈子中进行过交流的驯化莎草(Cyperus spp。)之间的关系。观察到过度分化现象,其中莎草属的四个种对应于86个民间种。民间物种的名称是由次要词素组成的,次要词素由语义有效成分和通用后缀(i组成。。这些名称包含助记符提示,以区分其他在形态上相似的植物,它们的含义与Ashaninka本体论类别相对应,从而揭示了它们与非人类之间的许多连接级别。莎草属植物具有广泛的特定用途(已注册约60种)。真菌侵染的莎草仅部分受植物化学物质和麦角生物碱的支持。了解ibenkiCyperus)代理商的关键在于当地的宇宙论,在这种宇宙论中,驯化的莎草被视为植物人和亲戚。Ashaninka从事生产其亲属ibenki的尸体。同时,ibenki 在恢复和谐的社会关系和保护人民免受其他人类和非人类的故意行为方面是强大的盟友。
