Se os temas mitológicos das serpentes amazônicas já estão amplamente caracterizados e analisados, o mesmo não pode ser dito sobre as formas visuais relacionadas aos mesmos. Muitos estudos da mitologia amazônica deixaram de lado os aspectos propriamente plásticos da cultura material, sem talvez dar-se conta que determinadas particularidades dos temas mito-cosmológicos estão precisamente fundidas nas qualidades dos estilos visuais. Este artigo discute alguns aspectos da imaginação conceitual da cultura material wauja (arawak do Alto Xingu) a partir da análise de um personagem mítico que expõe de modo explícito a natureza intrínseca e simultaneamente musical e iconográfica da arte do trançado.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Amazonia - Instituto Amazónico de Investigaciones (IMANI) - Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM) - Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social (PPGAS)https://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/imanimundo/article/view/55701Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Mundo AmazonicoMundo AmazonicoBarcelos Neto, Aristoteles (2016) The Wauja snake-basket: myth and the conceptual imagination of material culture in Amazonia.
