DEVORAR E SE VESTIR DE CONSTELAÇÃO: AS TRILHAS DE SUMÉ E A TESSITURA ESPIRITUAL ENTRE FLORESTA E PERIFERIA

Abstract

This article follows the paths indicated by the Tupinambá cosmogony to take the narratives as a wandering exercise, inspired by the jaguars that roam the forest and the stars to devour and lift worlds. Thus, taking the periphery as a place of enunciation, territory of the city of Duque de Caxias, we problematize colonial productions that establish dimensions of being/knowledge via violence and the production of stereotypes. Sumé, the mythical jaguar of the Tupinambás, guides us to devour worlds and interpret other paths of meaning of existence in the heavens. It is in this sense, in dialogue with the Tupinambá cosmogony and the concepts of countercolonization (BISPO DOS SANTOS, 2015) and recovery (BABABU, 2023), that we establish a weave between the spirit of the forest and the spirit of the periphery. We also take the dialogue with the experience of the Museu Vivo do São Bento, as an exercise in memory and ancestral politics based on the principles discussed here. We are interested in weaving ethical, aesthetic, political and epistemological dialogues between the spirit of the forest and the spirit of the peripheries that allow us to connect the stories, memories and narratives of the Tupinambá peoples to suggest a critique of the dominant model of being/knowledge, especially in the so-called periphery.
