Anthropology creates coherent images in order to domesticate cultures. This is both its strength and its weakness. The present text approaches work in the anthropological museum from the perspective raised in contemporary anthropological discussions about the procedural and relational concept of culture. The starting point is ritual action, underlining its capacity of dissonance and discontinuity; in this sense it refers to an Amazonian spiritual character, Curupira, which represents the ambiguity and the contradictory nature of the human being and the spiri-tual world. Finally, reflections about the ritual are related to the inherent questions of the anthropological museum.Downloads
