Summary/Abstract: Buliński’s anthropological interpretation of literacy practices among the E’ñepá in Venezuelan Amazonia consists of four parts. First, he describes the ethnography of literacy practices among this regional ethnic group; second, he summarizes scholarly approaches dealing with writing among the indigenous people of Amazonia; third, he discusses autochtonous terminology used to describe writing, and fourth, he presents the image of writing as a practice that serves to communicate with other kinds of being.
