Abstract

Based on the ethnographic description of a recent event — a road accident in July 2022 — the paper analyzes the mechanization process of indigenous worlds and, in particular, of the practical consequences of the diffusion of motorcycles among the Chacobo (Panoan) of the Bolivian Amazon. The event is analyzed as a social drama that allows to shed light on some of the social, ethnic, economic, technological and environmental transformations that are currently reshaping the indigenous reality in the South American lowlands.
