| Sumario: | Santa María de Mavacal, in Venezuelan Amazonia, is a multiethnic and multilingual community in the basin of Atabapo, which lives in constant relationship with other small groups that surround it: miners, drug traffickers, and especially máwariMáwari: the owners of the waters and night and animals. Skillful seducers, the máwari are trying to attract men to their world, to charm them, to dehumanize them and to reveal the máwari that every man carries. The máwari causes altered states of humanity, states of being ill, which in resistance to the seduction, men will use as a reaffirmation of their humanity. |
