It highlights ethical approaches to research concerning sorcery and discusses the ethics within local communities of sorcery practices and accusations. The ethnographic literature focusing on sorcery in Amazonia has been sporadic and sparse. However sorcery is often of great importance in the lives and cosmologies of many people in different parts of lowland South America.

Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf lokalen ontologischen Rahmenbedingungen, Fragen der Verkörperung und der damit verbundenen Verwendung von Klängen in Amazonien. Ethische Ansätze zur Erforschung von Magie werden ebenso beleuchtet wie die Ethik von magischen Praktiken und Hexerei-Anschuldigungen inner- halb lokaler Gemeinschaften.Sprachen: Englisch, Spanisch.
