Resumo

A visão desenvolvida pelos antropólogos em volta das relações entre os grupos de caçadores e coletores e suas partes contrárias as sedentárias na bacia do Orinoco destacam algumas perspectivas, enquanto outros têm sido completamente ignorados. De este modo, ideias como aquela de subjugação dos nômades por parte dos grupos sedentários perpetuou-se distorcendo uma complexa e dinâmica relação, ao mesmo tempo elimina importantes aspectos do contexto no qual as mesmas se realizaram em diferentes momentos históricos. O resultado foi uma história estereotipada sob uma série de parâmetros que se auto corroboraram. Em este artigo apresento uma visão alternativa, baseada na ideia dos Sistemas Mundiais de Wallerstein e o conceito de heterarquia. Proponho que a bacia do Orinoco constituiu um sistema de hierarquias sequenciais no qual os caçadores e coletores guahibo/ chricoa agiram como nodos na transmissão de informação, constituindo um componente fundamental da estruturação desde Sistema Mundial.
