Como se eu tivesse no passado: mito-práxis audiovisuais entre jovens indígenas

Abstract

The starting point of this dissertation is the audiovisual production of Tupinikim and Guarani indigenous people from Aracruz-ES, seeking to analyze the works, authors and conduction of aesthetic and identity production by young indigenous people, based on ethnographic reflections. We observed the differences in the filming conditions and aesthetic choices according to several local proposals. These proposals approach the relations between the young people involved in the productions, as well as other agents who participate and are interested in the indigenous perspective in the audiovisual. Through Prolind-UFES (Indian Degree Program) I met young people involved in audiovisual productions who set out to build a record of ancestral memory, festivals, rites and myths. From the descriptions of identity, we can see the myths evoked in indigenous cinema through the theoretical horizon, crossed by the concept of Marshall Sahlins' mythopraxis, as the production of the script of the movie Enorme Gavião do Tupinikim Tiago Kauê.
