The ontological turn in anthropology has triggered harsh criticism on political and epistemic grounds in recent years, channeling the disciplinary orthodoxy encapsulated in the Barbados Declaration and Writing Culture. Drawing from ethnographic material on ontologically based preferences between ancestral health‐seeking practices and state health care on Shuar territory in southeastern Ecuador, I point out that the appreciation and articulation of ontological alterity is central to certain contemporary indigenous political struggles for state interculturality, before discussing the value of interviewing and research across multiple sites within any given indigenous territory so as to develop a degree of scope that complements participant observation by contextualizing representations of ancestral ontologies.

Tsunki只在某些河流中把鱼当做母鸡：厄瓜多尔跨文化国家的Shuar本体论政治

近年来，人类学的本体论转向引发了对政治和认识论的严厉批评，将巴巴多斯宣言和写作文化中所包含的学科正统思想引向了现实。。从人种学材料出发，在厄瓜多尔东南部的舒阿尔地区，祖先寻求健康的行为与州保健之间的基于本体论的偏爱，我指出，对本体论变化的理解和表达对于某些当代针对国家跨文化性的本地政治斗争至关重要。在任何给定的土著领土内跨多个站点进行采访和研究的价值，从而通过在一定程度上简化祖先本体的表示来扩大参与者的观察范围。[舒尔，亚马孙，跨文化国​​家，跨文化性，本体论人类学，透视主义，代表政治]
