Inhalt: “Only anthropophagy unites us,” famously wrote Oswald de Andrade in his Anthropophagous Manifesto in 1928. Up until then, anthropophagy (or cannibalism) was seen by the White invaders as a barbarous reaction by the Indigenous peoples they feared. Transformed into a metaphor for the assimilation of external influences for the production of a new, unique local culture, Anthropophagy became a more digestible concept – one that could even “unite” all sorts of Brazilian social strata. The cultural cannibalism defended by Oswald and others in the “Revista de Antropofagia” represented not only a modus operandi of the Brazilian avant-garde of the 1920s, but was culturally re-interpreted various times since then. This concept was particularly fruitful for the Tropicália moment in the 1960s and 1970s – in the fields of visual arts, literature, music, and cinema. In the 21st century, artists and thinkers from varied indigenous populations have helped us to look more critically at this almost harmless deviation from the original anthropophagic attitude. In this seminar, we will watch and analyze films related to, influenced by, or critical of the concept of Anthropophagy in search of different Brazilian film (hi)stories.
