          Abstract

          Abstract This article aims to understand the role of territorial practices in the interaction between human and nonhuman animals. It focuses on the Iguazú and Iguaçu national parks, established by Argentina and Brazil in the 1930s as nature reserves bisected by an international boundary. In a setting where human-made boundaries overlay natural boundaries, qualitatively different spatial practices clash in the territorial encounters between cougars, jaguars, and humans. The article demonstrates how changes in the border practices of park officials, hunters, and big cats reshuffled the terms of these encounters. The article assesses when, where, and how these encounters between rangers, poachers, and big cats took place, showing how felids challenged the spatial placement and taxonomical categories attributed to them by humans.

          Resumo El artículo enfoca los parques nacionales de Iguazú e Iguaçu, establecidos por Argentina y Brasil en la década de 1930 como reservas naturales divididas en dos por una frontera internacional. En un entorno donde los límites creados por el hombre se superponen a los límites naturales, las prácticas espaciales cualitativamente diferentes chocan en los encuentros territoriales entre pumas, jaguares y humanos. El artículo demuestra cómo los cambios en las prácticas fronterizas de los funcionarios del parque, los cazadores y los grandes felinos reorganizaron los términos de estos encuentros. El artículo evalúa cuándo, dónde y cómo tuvieron lugar estos encuentros entre guardabosques, cazadores y grandes felinos, mostrando cómo los felinos desafiaron la ubicación espacial y las categorías taxonómicas que los humanos les atribuyeron.
