Abstract
This article addresses the relationship between the notion of person and the spatial and temporal configurations of Lowland South American shamanisms. Statements and ethnographic descriptions are analyzed to understand the uncannyexperiences of ubiquity involved in processes of shamanic displacement and initiation. Singular aspects of Amazonian shamanic topologies are then associated with some of their unique characteristics, such as the intensive luminosityinvolved in shamanic space-time conceptions. The goal is to demonstrate that such conceptions are also involved in the understanding of the human condition determined by separation and failure, which are responsible for the productionof continuous ritual dynamics.
