Abstract
In this chapter, multiple notions of cannibalism are presented based on the scenic arts tetralogy Jaguar Cibernético. A dialogue between aesthetics and psychology is promoted under the perspective of semiotic–cultural constructivism in psychology, articulating the radically different cosmological conceptions exposed on each of the theatrical texts to demonstrate how art can help the understanding of Amerindian constructions of subjectivities, corporalities, realities, practices, meanings, and concepts.
