Endless stories: perspectivism and narrative form

In dialogue with Eduardo Viveiros de Castro's debates on 'perspectivism', this article attempts to answer the following question: if Amazonian Amerindian thought is based on another ontology – an ontology that promotes the idea that all animals are (or have been) potentially human, and which privileges difference rather than identity – wouldn’t the Amazonian way of telling stories, i.e. their narrative form, be necessarily different as well? The article focuses on three native Amazonian stories that narrate marriages between humans and members of other species.
