It was open to the public from April to June 2016 at the Museo del Libro y de la Lengua [Museum of Books and Language]. The primary purpose of Antepasados was to recapture afroporteños’ cultural heritage and fill what scholars, curators, and the government saw as a “regrettable absence” in narratives about national identity. This study examines how Antepasados (2016) articulated the logic of whiteness in Argentina and the politics of race representation in museums and public history while recognising the erasure of Afro-descendants in official discourse. This exhibit acknowledges the contribution of afroporteños to national culture and identity, and shows how Argentine society is dealing with its racial reckoning, albeit with certain contradictions. Finally, this study inscribes the case of afroporteños into broader discussions about race in Latin America by reframing national identity and cultural heritage discourses in more inclusive terms within a country where an emphasis on whiteness has been predominant.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"509 - 532"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139363984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on Amazonian ontology, Shipibo aesthetics, and haptic film theory and focusing on the function of the multimodal Shipibo designs known as kené in Icaros: A Vision (2016, directed by Matteo Norzi and Leonor Caraballo), we propose that the full-length feature film format allows for a sensory experience of kené as life forms emanating from the forest. Two Italian artists created Icaros: A Vision in collaboration with Shipibo artists and shamans affiliated with Anaconda Cósmica, the Iquitos, Peru-area ayahuasca retreat centre where the movie takes place, and the film candidly reflects on the commodification of Indigenous healing and aesthetics in which it participates. Our analysis centres kené and its Shipibo makers – especially women – and compares the film’s Shipibo aesthetics with the words, sounds, and images from César Calvo’s The Three Halves of Ino Moxo: Teachings of the Wizard of the Upper Amazon (1981) and Werner Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo, both of which the film explicitly references. We argue that, in contrast to those works, Icaros: A Vision’s multisensorial engagement with Shipibo aesthetics intercepts – however imperfectly – the objectifying gaze inherent in the unrestrained partitioning of the forest into natural resources.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"333 - 360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45380483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As dams, mining, agribusiness, and cattle ranching infringe on the Amazon River basin, in territorial defence the Munduruku use resistance strategies including collective letters attacking the epistemic and ontological foundations of neoextractive, government-promoted Amazonian “development”, while presenting a counter-narrative insisting on their own cosmology and historical, cultural occupation of their territory. Using an Environmental Humanities approach, based on Munduruku collective letters authored primarily by Ipereğ Ayũ, I identify 19 repeating rhetorical features, including perspectivist representations of non-humans and ancestral spirits. Instead of underlining biological harms of the Teles Pires and São Manoel dams per a Western ontology, the letters instead emphasise cultural harms, creating narratives that insert cosmological entities from oral traditions into current cosmopolitics and a growing authority of women and shamans. I focus on letters tracing the Munduruku attempt to achieve the return of Itiğ’a (urns) removed during dam construction. I discuss Munduruku authorship-authority, antagonism-persuasion, and translation of the sacred from a perspectivist to non-perspectivist audience. I argue self-published Indigenous letters are part of a literature of territory from peoples confronting deterritorialisation that deserves publication and allyship-scholarship in Literature and other fields.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135717263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This process of rethink, characterised by an eagerness for modernisation, resulted in a series of discourses focused on Venezuela’s Amazonia as a repository of possibilities. This paper analyses how these possibilities were channelled through the metaphor of el secreto de la tierra, tracing an early reading of the ideological configuration of Venezuela and its Amazonia as a land of inexhaustible material and poetic richness. This metaphor was voiced by a set of socio-ecological discourses written about the Venezuelan Amazon, including the essay on Venezuelan geography and culture by Enrique Bernardo Núñez Una ojeada al mapa de Venezuela (1939). The paper focuses on the representation of this region as a set of discursive constructions entangled with the naturalisation of the modernising ideal that has fuelled the imaginaries of material growth and rentier capitalism in Venezuela. The concluding remarks will point to how such a reading can help us to understand a discursive and poetic radicalisation embedded in conflicting approaches to the nature-culture confluence in the Venezuelan Amazon.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"283 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45845931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
