Popis: The present paper discusses the agencies amid humans and non-humans through secondary materials of a research concluded in 2015, between Mozambican forest engineers living in Curitiba, Brazil. It departs from the comprehension that the relations between Brazilians and Mozambicans is based in a epistemological common ground, which is the knowledge in Forest Engineering. Nevertheless, the ontological differences betwixt Brazil and Mozambique built on the academic rituals of this engineers, bring other nuances concerning the referred South-South dialogue. Especially the capacity that those differences have to inform the particularities of the contemporaneity of this specific contexts, their strategies and interests. Following the networks of relations produced between both sides of the Atlantic in this discrete context, I intend to contribute to a more complex reading of the relations amidst those countries, of what is known as the South-South relations, and the place of international cooperation in the social compositions of Brazil and Mozambique.
