Abstract

My doctoral research seeks to examine and describe cosmopolitical dimensions in the current context of film production - an aesthetic and political experience, as well as a possibility of shared ethnographic creation - and the formation of filmmakers among the Maxakali / Tikmu'un, in the northeast of Minas Gerais. I propose an examination of their modes of production of relationships and subjectivities - also between the muliple beings /others with whom they share sensible experiences - and the territorial experiences and of production and sharing of knowledge: the political, aesthetic and shamanic actions in which seeing and hearing appear as core competencies. This abroad internship proposal aims to deepen and share such discussions and reflections. (AU)
