In this writing, Vilaça conducts a case study on the Wari people of Brazilian Amazonia with particular focus on their concepts of the body and spirit. Unlike western concepts of body, the Wari sees the body (kwere) as a slightly more spiritual entity, almost like a lesser soul, to be possessed by that which owns it. It may be more aptly be defined as “form.” Beyond living things, rocks, wind, rain, etc all have their own kwere. Humanity is also a relative idea for the Wari. There are humans and there are animals which appear human. It is also believed that animals see themselves as human and in their minds they are doing activities as that of humans. For example, to jaguars, blood is seen and tasted as beer. More interesting is the Wari concept of the soul, which they call jam. It is essentially a greater soul in comparison to the kwere. Not all things possess jam, and it is possible to be alive without possessing jam. It is suggested that all things had jam at one point in the past, even inanimate human-made objects such as baskets and they were able to move and dance. All things with jam can appear as human or adopt human traits. The main point of all of this is that for the Wari, the concept of human and culture are very much intertwined and difficult to separate and they see themselves as a part of nature, rather than apart from nature. This serves as a great argument for the lack of distinction between nature and culture and multiple perspectives on the issue is the key.
