The future past of anthropophagy: time and history in the philosophical essays of Oswald de Andrade

ABSTRACT

This paper examines Oswald de Andrade’s essayistic production and explores the intersections between the uses of history and the formulation of an ethical-political utopia of emancipation. The argument centers on the proposition that Oswald’s thought employs a dual temporality regime, combining cyclical and linear forms of historical time, where images of a remote matriarchy intertwine and merge with the progressive hope for a hyper-technological future
