Oswald de Andrade

Manifeste anthropophage : Manger la culture colonisatrice, telle est la revendication du Manifeste anthropophage écrit au Brésil, en 1928. À travers cette poésie savoureuse, Oswald de Andrade prône la transformation du Tabou en Totem. Le poète affirme la modernité brésilienne dans un processus esthétique et politique de transgression constante. "Seule l'anthropophagie nous unit. Tupi or not tupi, that is the question". Anthropophagie zombie : Les troubles d'une "guerre esthétique planétaire" ont dévoilé la face cachée d'une anthropophagie dévoyée. Les structures de la subjectivité sont attaquées par le capitalisme financier, "un peuple de zombis hyperactifs " prolifère dans le Reality show global. Comment réinvestir une anthropophagie positive et émanciper les subjectivités ? Comment remettre le monde à l'oeuvre ?

Félix Guattari

Molecular Revolution in BrazilFélix Guattari and Suely Rolniktranslated by KarelClapshow and Brian HolmesYes, I believe that there is a multiple people, a people of mutants, apeople of potentialities that appears and disappears, that is embodied in social, literary, andmusical events.... I think that we're in a period of productivity, proliferation, creation, utterlyfabulous revolutions from the viewpoint of this emergence of a people. That's molecular revolution:it isn't a slogan or a program, it's something that I feel, that I live....--from MolecularRevolution in BrazilFollowing Brazil's first democratic election after two decades of militarydictatorship, French philosopher Félix Guattari traveled through Brazil in 1982 with Brazilianpsychoanalyst Suely Rolnik and discovered an exciting, new political vitality. In the infancy of itsnew republic, Brazil was moving against traditional hierarchies of control and totalitarian regimesand founding a revolution of ideas and politics. Molecular Revolution in Brazil documents theconversations, discussions, and debates that arose during the trip, including a dialogue betweenGuattari and Brazil's future President Luis Ignacia Lula da Silva, then a young gubernatorialcandidate. Through these exchanges, Guattari cuts through to the shadowy practices of globalizationgone awry and boldly charts a revolution in practice.Assembled and edited by Rolnik, MolecularRevolution in Brazil is organized thematically; aphoristic at times, it presents a lesser-known,more overtly political aspect of Guattari's work. Originally published in Brazil in 1986 asMicropolitica: Cartografias do desejo, the book became a crucial reference for political movementsin Brazil in the 1980s and 1990s. It now provides English-speaking readers with an invaluablepicture of the radical thought and optimism that lies at the root of Lula's Brazil. Félix Guattari(1930-19920), post-'68 French psychoanalyst and philosopher, is the author of Anti-Oedipus (withGilles Deleuze), The Anti-Oedipus Papers (Semiotext(e), 2006), and other books. Semiotext(e) haspublished the first two volumes of his complete essays, Chaosophy (1995) and Soft Subversions(1996), and will publish the final volume, Chaos and Complexity, in 2008. Suely Rolnik is apsychoanalyst, cultural critic, and curator who lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil. She was aclose collaborator of Guattari during her exile in Paris from the military dictatorship inBrazil.
