          Abstract

          O artigo desenvolve os conceitos de antropologia ecológica criticando as noções de objeto e de rede e, por extensão a teoria do ator-rede. Desafiando a noção estabelecida de "objeto", propõe-se a retomada da noção de "coisa", porosa e fluida, perpassada por fluxos vitais, integrada aos ciclos e dinâmicas da vida e do meio ambiente. A seguir, a teoria do ator-rede, de Latour, Law e Callon é criticada por manter e reproduzir uma divisão metafísica entre sujeitos e objetos (atribuindo a estes uma agência fetichizada) e ignorando a distribuição desigual de fluxos e sentidos ao longo da rede. Numa discussão inspirada em Heidegger e Deleuze, é proposta a ideia alternativa de "malha" (meshwork) para pensar a cultura material e as relações de comunicação, integração e fluxos entre coisas.

          Translated abstract

          The article broadens the concepts of Ecological Anthropology by criticizing the notions of object and network, and - by its extension - the Actor-Network Theory (ANT). Challenging the established notion of 'object', it proposes the return of the notion of 'thing', porous and fluid, permeated by vital flows, integrated into the dynamics of life and of the environment. Hereafter the Actor-Network Theory (of Latour, Callon and Law) is criticized for maintaining and reproducing a metaphysical division between subjects and objects (assigning to these a fetishized agency) and ignoring the unequal distribution of flows and directions along the network. In a discussion inspired by Heidegger and Deleuze, the article proposes an alternative idea of 'mesh' (meshwork) to think about the material culture and the communication relations, integration and flows among things.
