Les Madiha, peuple du sud-ouest de l’Amazonie, apprivoisent les petits des animaux qu’ils tuent à la chasse. Cet article met l’accent sur deux aspects de l’apprivoisement des animaux chez les Madiha : (i) la fragilité et le caractère temporaire du processus d’apprivoisement et (ii) le rôle que l’apprivoisement des animaux joue dans la fabrication sociale des nourrissons et des enfants. En analysant les pratiques d’apprivoisement des animaux à l’aune des notions de maitrise/possession, de feeding et d’adoption d’enfants, ainsi qu’en s’appuyant sur les travaux de spécialistes de la région, cet article montre que l’apprivoisement des animaux n’a pas pour objectif la création d’un animal adulte et qu’il ne peut pas non plus être considéré sans problème sous le prisme de l’adoption puisque les animaux apprivoisés sont inexorablement dé-familiarisés. Los Madiha, un pueblo del suroeste de la Amazonia, crían como mascotas a las crías de los animales que matan durante la caza. Este artículo hace hincapié en dos aspectos de la cría de animales entre los Madiha: (i) la fragilidad y el carácter temporal del proceso de criar mascotas y (ii) el papel que la cría de animales domésticos desempeña en la fabricación social de infantes y niños. Analizando las prácticas de crianza de mascotas frente a las nociones de control/posesión, de feeding, y adopción de niños, así como recurriendo a los trabajos de especialistas de la región, este artículo muestra que la tenencia de mascotas no tiene como finalidad la creación de un animal adulto ni puede considerarse sin problemas bajo el prisma de la adopción, ya que los animales mantenidos como mascotas están inexorablemente des-familiarizados.
