In the course of his work, the anthropologist Peter Gow confronted in an original way the difficulties of ethnology in approaching collectives whose diacritical traits that circumscribe them as “a people” or “a culture” are rebellious to traditional typologies. He faced the theoretical difficulties of approaching peoples “of mixed blood” and was a pioneer in discussing phenomena such as “becoming Other”. His approach to kinship and the mythical narratives of the Piro/Yine displaces rigid oppositions in anthropology, such as synchrony/diachrony, structure/history, model/practice, among others. These are effective innovations in the study of Amerindian peoples and in anthropology's ability to develop ethnographic theories from all its fields. This dossier aims to commemorate and celebrate the author Peter Gow, who disappeared prematurely, and his thought.
