To the already vast canon of “Oswaldiana”, she adds a layer of commentary predestined to become an obligatory reference for any student or scholar that has an interest in the work of Oswald de Andrade \u2013 a figure who is without a doubt, one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century.
Anthropophagy\u2019s Wild Palimpsest by Beatriz Azevedo is at the forefront of anthropophagic thought.
EDUARDO VIVEIROS DE CASTRO<\/strong> [National Museum\u2019s anthropologist UFRJ]<\/p>\n
Beatriz Azevedo is a brilliant academic, who wrote one of the best books on Brazilian Modernism and Oswald de Andrade, Anthropophagy\u2019s Wild Palimpsest, a deeply informed and beautifully written gloss on Oswald’s famous Manifesto Antrop\u00f3fago. She is truly multi-talented: besides being an academic, she is also a poet, performer and songwriter who has worked with some of the most distinguished artists and performers in Brazil, such as Adriana Calcanhotto, Moreno Veloso (the son of Caetano Veloso), the iconic Maria Beth\u00e2nia, and others. Beatriz is also an actress who has collaborated with Ze Celso’s endlessly renewed avant-garde theater. For me as a scholar of Brazilian cinema and culture, it has been a delight to work with someone who shares so many passions with me and so many of us – music, literature, theater, modernism, indigeneity. Beatriz Azevedo follows in Oswald de Andrade\u2019s footsteps: she reads the “Manifesto” by separating its parts. In this way, she ritualizes her reading, and in the process offers us the most unusual flavors of Oswald\u2019s text that have the potential to disturb the domesticated palate of our time. More than an anatomy of the Manifesto, Azevedo\u2019s reading gives us a curatorship, or better yet, a curanderia by way of Oswald\u2019s text. In her writing, the familiar academic protocols are purified of their sick pomp. Her reading underscores that the importance of anthropophagy is in the “de-Europeanizing” potential of Brazilian cultural creation. In the potential to become indigenous, a wild becoming, open to the other, decolonizing, surrendered to the forest, we find the Brazilian challenge. The greatest findings of Anthropophagy\u2019s Wild Palimpsest can be attributed to the author\u2019s artistic \u201cantennae\u201d. As an accomplished musician, Beatriz Azevedo attends to the “orecular\/auricular world” of the Manifesto, reading its “signs”. Furthermore, the proposal of listening to the Manifesto enables her to elucidate not only its content, but also its form (in what is perhaps its greatest contribution, if we are to highlight one), paying attention to its “refrains” and its “mantras”, to the “architecture of echoes” that serves to “merge the space-time dimension”, creating the context of the text, the “matriarchy of Pindorama” and evoking the “rhythmic vivacity of the Indian”; in short, for the “textual score” that shows itself through the lenses – or perceptive ears – of the author, including in the graphic signs, carriers of a “rhythmic function”. In this way, Azevedo brings to light how the text arms and rearms, arranges and rearranges, an enunciative scene; the way it manifests the anthropophagus, and how such a cannibal manifests himself through it. <\/p>\n In Portuguese:<\/p>\n Antropofagia Palimpsesto Selvagem Desenhos: Tunga<\/strong> Trecho do pref\u00e1cio: “Tive o prazer de conhecer Beatriz Azevedo quando ela assistiu um curso que Alexandre Nodari e eu demos no Museu Nacional em 2012, \u201cDo matriarcado primitivo \u00e0 sociedade contra o Estado e al\u00e9m.

So, we can start by celebrating the re-inauguration of Brazil on a mythical date. If 462 years ago the devouring of Bishop Sardinha took place, it’s time to move on to the banquet and help yourself to the appetizing words of Beatriz Azevedo. Just like Morubichaba as he devoured his roast, I can guarantee it’s tasty.
