%X A close look to the notion of soul as presented in a variety of ethnographies about south american lowland societies reveals us a curious relation between ¡®soul¡¯ and ¡®image¡¯, describing it as corporal ¡®images¡¯ which can set relations with non-humans alterityforms. These relations, as we commonly know, are riskful, due to the possibility of a soul being aggressed or captured by those non-humans beings. This, of course, by only one side. By the other, those same relations with non-human beings have a special deal in shamanism and naming-rituals. This essay aims, thus, to amplify comprehension of which type of image might be this one called ¡®soul¡¯, and how it could be understood as a specific non-representational image.
