Trata-se de propor uma simetria entre ao que ocorreu na Baía de Guanabara, no século XVI, entre Tupinambá e franceses e na Baía de Kealakakua, no século XVIII, entre havaianos e ingleses, levando em consideração a dinâmica dos mal-entendidos. Argumenta-se que os brancos foram apreendidos pelos nativos, nos dois casos, de forma análoga, isto é, por meio da predação ontológica.We are dealing here with a suggestion of symmetry between what happened in Guanabara Bay in the XVI century between the Tupinamba and the French, and in the Kealakakua Bay, in the XVIII century between the Hawaiians and the English taking into consideration the dynamics of misunderstanding. The argument develops that the white men were captured by the natives, in both cases in a similar manner that is to say by way of ontological preying.
