Animals, Humans, Intimism, Zoo, AmazonAbstract
The present article is based on an ethnography on the relationship between humans and animals in a zoo in the Amazon (Belém - PA), based on the daily interspecific experiences between the professionals named caretakers and the captive animals that constitute the collection of species of the small sheltered zoo inside. Through the monitoring of the daily activities of the caregivers as food, sanitation of the nurseries and motivations that guide various care, we problematize the negotiations of meaning attributed to the fulfillment of their tasks and to establish relationships, engagements, estrangement and temporary breaks in their ties, considering the exchanges of affections and looks that point to what we call intimism in their daily (dis) encounters.
