This dissertation is the result of ethnographic research carried out among the Ʉtãpinoponã (Descendants of the Stone Anaconda) also known as Dokapuara and more commonly Tuyuka. More specifically, the field research was carried out among the Tuyuka inhabiting the upper Tiquié and Inambu, tributary rivers of the Vaupés, in the Upper Rio Negro, northwest of the Amazon, on the border between Brazil and Colombia. This work is a reflection on Amerindian relationality, thought through the prism of gender, kinship and particularly affinity, festivities and onomastics, and from a diachronic perspective. The festivities or rituals, in all their diversity, are the setting in which kinship relations are played out and transformed, a process which is expressed through the system of considerations. As a theme that articulates the thesis, the concept of considerations corresponds to a native translation of a complex set of concepts and practices, which is reflected, in particular, by a system of attitudes towards consanguineous and affine, characterized by the expression of deference and respect (akasʉore). The system of considerations can be conceived as the language of kinship: it relates to the knowledge and use of kinship terminology, names and nicknames that define the "relational map" of each person and collective. This research can be defined as a reflection on how the system of considerations expresses processes of transformation in a series of sociological and conceptual fields – marriage and the conjugal relationship, alliance, festivities, onomastics, joke relationships – and on how these processes are conceived and experienced from the Tuyuka perspective. ; Cette thèse est le fruit d’une recherche ethnographique menée auprès des Ʉtãpinoponã (Descendants de l’Anaconda de pierre) aussi connus sous le nom de Dokapuara et plus couramment Tuyuka.
