ABSTRACT
This article takes its ethnographic point of departure revenge killing among the Huaorani and Tagaeri-Taromenane (a group in voluntary isolation) living in the Ecuadorian Amazon. It describes an accelerating inter-household conflict, and especially its relation to a heated public debate, fuelling the proliferation of the initial conflict. By thinking with a cultural artefact, the spear, the article shows how the public debate became characterized by competing sense-making projects that scaled revenge killing differently. As an effect, the process entailed a change of change (escalation) occasioned by the intersection of competing, but incomensurable scales. This ended up transforming the relation between the Huaorani and State.

矛作为衡量标准:厄瓜多尔发怒,报仇杀死矛和改变土著公民身份
摘要
本文以居住在厄瓜多尔亚马逊河中的Huaorani和Tagaeri-Taromenane(自愿隔离的团体)中的民族志出发点来报仇。它描述了家庭间冲突的加剧,特别是它与激烈的公众辩论的关系,加剧了最初冲突的扩散。通过思考文化手工艺品长矛,这篇文章展示了公众辩论如何以竞争性的感官项目为特征,这些项目以不同的方式衡量复仇的杀戮。结果,该过程导致了变化的变化(升级),这种变化是由相互竞争但可衡量的规模相交引起的。最终改变了Huaorani与国家之间的关系。
