A REANTROPOFAGIA COMO CRÍTICA E SUBVERSÃO DOS DISPOSITIVOS ESTÉTICOS DA COLONIALIDADE

Abstract

This paper proposes a reading of the poem ReAntropofagia (2022), by Denilson Baniwa, highlighting it as an understanding point for the thought and technique of the author, in his critique to the aesthetic devices of coloniality. For this, we mainly refer to his work – Re-Antropofagia (2019a); O antropólogo moderno já nasceu antigo (2019b); Ficções Coloniais (ou, finjam que eu não estou aqui) (2021). We explore the relationship with Mário de Andrade in the gesture as koada, and the definitions given by contemporary indigenous art. It stands out how the recurring elements of his production act as a critique of coloniality, by the appropriation and subversion of these devices in the rereading of history, in dialogue with other readers (GOLDSTAIN, 2021; ROCHA, 2021; DE OLIVEIRA, 2022). It is suggested that such elements may constitute a theory of assembly, specific to the thought and contemporary indigenous art. With this there is a dialogue with the critical and decolonial theory (Quijano, 2007; MIGNOLO, 2017; DIDI-HUBERMAN, 2018; SELIGMANN-SILVA, 2022).
