A CONCEP??O DO I SARAU DAS POéTICAS INDíGENAS POR UMA ANTROPóLOGA-ESCRITORA

摘要

Adopting the interpretative anthropology approach, the text narrates the experience of an anthropologist-writer in contact with the universe of Brazilian indigenous literature and poetry, which inspired her to conception of the I Recital of the Indigenous Poetics of the Casa das Rosas, as an event to assemble Indians, indigenous and indianist writers from different backgrounds, both classic and contemporary. It discusses the issue of the social function of poetry & prose and its independence from cultural context and concludes for talking of “poetics”, because the event will not host on one only poetic, western Aristotelean poetic, but the diversity that inhabits oral history and indigenous rituals, whether elaborated or not, which have in common the inventiveness and enchantment with words and their possibilities.
