A delegation of seven representatives of the Aparai and Wayana peoples are coming to São Paulo this weekend to present their songs and launch a documentary that they recently finished. Leaders and teachers in their villages of origin, in the Amazon, they live in a region in the north of Pará, in the Indigenous Lands of Parque do Tumucumaque and Rio Paru d'Este, and will travel more than three thousand kilometers, traveling by boat, plane , car and again plane.
The group will perform on two occasions: at Sesc Santo André, on Sunday (August 13th) at 2 pm, when they will present their artefacts, songs and dances, in addition to being available for a conversation with the public; and Tuesday (August 15th) at 8 pm at Cine Sesc, when the premiere of the documentary "Bibiru: kaikuxi panema" will take place. The film has as its protagonist a dog that lost his luck in hunting and portrays his owner's attempt to cure him, while teaching young people about the ancestral values of his people. The story was completely filmed by directors Wayana and Aparai in the Bona village and is part of a trilogy about the indigenous food production regimes: the first deals with fishing, the second with the collection of açaí and the third with hunting.
Book based on a master's thesis, on a study on cosmopolitanism, gentrification and work, focusing on the hipster scene in the Vila Buarque neighborhood (central region of São Paulo). The release will feature a chat between the author and Heitor Frúgoli Jr. (DA-FFLCH-USP).
In this presentation we will discuss the relationship between the conceptions, discourses and cartographic productions on the territory of the Kotiria (Wanano) and Kubeo peoples, inhabitants of the Uaupés River in the Rio Negro Indigenous Land, and speakers of languages of the Tukano family. From the places named in the scope of the elaboration of the Kotiria and Kubeo Environmental and Territorial Management Plan, we will explore the relationship between toponymy, mythical narratives, blessings and other forms of symbolic expressions of knowledge settled in places and in the landscape. We will see how a comparative analysis of these issues between the Kotiria and Kubeo gives rise to a reflection on the existence of a shared spatiality that structures thinking about territory. Finally, we will reflect on the limits and potentialities of the use of different types of maps and cartographic practices by indigenous peoples – the so-called “counter-cartographies”, “indigenous cartography” or “ethno-mapping” – asking to what extent these productions are capable of to subvert the cartographic language itself and innovate in the form of representation of the territory, in order to be more faithful to the indigenous conceptions about places, territories and worlds.

GUARANI MBYA COSMOPOETICS: (RE)TRANSLATING AYVU RAPYTA

After an immersion in the study of some languages of the Tupi-Guarani family (particularly Mbyá, Guarani and Kaiowá), I propose a rhythmic and annotated retranslation of the Ayvu Rapyta, in addition to a study on its cosmopoetics. When speaking of cosmopoetics, I understand that it is a cosmology (or cosmogony) in which the poetic aspect engenders something that seems to go far beyond “mythology”. Observing the language in which Ayvu Rapyrta is based – a language that is extremely difficult to translate – it is noted that it is organized as a genuine way of thinking about the various worlds we inhabit. In this lecture, I intend to discuss some fundamental concepts of Ayvu Rapyta, such as language/soul (ayvu/ñe'ẽ), love (mborayu), rhythm (mba'e a'ã), and good living (teko porã).
