    Abstract

    This thesis is an ethnography of scientific data produced by a Brazil-led scientific
    project in the Brazilian Amazon. It describes how the researchers and technicians
    make data about the Amazon forest, and how this data in turn generates different
    scientific communities, scientific subjectivities, and claims about the world. It
    explores the limits of a representational idiom to describe such scientific practice, and in so doing investigates the reflexive and recursive repercussions of such descriptions for the anthropology of science.
