摘要
This article looks at aspects of identity/culture formation in Lower Brazilian Amazonia, focusing in particular on the negotiability of the term caboclo, a (generally) pejorative term widely used to refer to various types of Amazonian peasants. It is argued that changing evaluations of caboclo society reflect not only the so-called 'integration' of Amazonia following Transamazonica (and related projects), but also reflect the effects of a changed research environment in which the 'culture industry' of anthropology operates.
