description This paper aims at investigating the historical procedures that worked to standardize and essentialize sign categories, which were notably invented within a colonial discourse that imposed ethnic identities on Amerindian peoples. By means of a critical theoretical review of concepts it shows the historicity of the classification processes, thus rejecting a Eurocentric vision of the knowledge process. In that way, I hope to contribute for the theoretical debate on the naming process, as well as for the decolonization of subjectivities through the ethnogenetic process of Amerindian peoples.
