Fraturas contemporâneas de histórias indígenas em Belém: sobre mármores e grafites
In: Revista Maracanan, Issue 24, p. 544-566
In this article, considering as a theoretical-methodological reference the discourse studies based on Michel Foucault (2004, 2005, 2007) and the definitions of colonial dispositive and ethniCity (NEVES, 2015) to understand the visual statements spread in the landscapes of Belém in the second decade of the 21st century, representing different places of enunciation about the history of the city and the indigenous peoples.I analyze the frontal of the most famous catholic church of the city and a bronze sculpture to mark the discourse of the colonization and, in contrast, I analyze graffiti of two local contemporary artists that retake the indigenous memory of Belém in their productions.In a way, update the ancient metaphor coined by Fr. Antonio Vieira, but now, as opposed to marble, not the myrtle but graffiti and its transience.
