The factory of the savage and the clash of imaginations. A post-ethnographic reading of Denilson Baniwa’s work

Abstract

This text proposes a reflection on postethnography in two directions: firstly, make a frame on the historical context after the globalization and, secondly, discuss these aspects on the Denilson Baniwa’s artistic work. It points to verify the postethnographic hypothesis of the limits of art and literature vis-à-vis ethnographic practices in order to postulate a new statement of literary and artistic practices on the first decades of the 21rst century.
