| Abstract | |
This dissertation seeks to find the matrixes of the concept of anthropophagy created by the modernist Oswald de Andrade, as it was formulated in the Manifesto Antropófago of 1928 and later works, such as the play O Rei da Vela (1933) and the philosophical thesis A Crise da Filosofia Messiânica (1950), from the standpoint of a line of thinking which seeks to analyse the alterative processes of identity formation in peripheral countries. Oswald de Andrade was the author of many of the most audacious avant-guard experiences in Latin America and his writings enlighten Brazil´s history ever since. Following this problematic, this dissertation aims also to understand, through the reading of the works of Oswald de Andrade which was developed by the tropicalist movement in the 1970´s, as well as its contemporary reception, the complex articulation of modernist art and the cultural and political history of the country.
