THE RIVER: INDIGENOUS LITERATURE’S SACRED PLACE
Abstract
The river invites us to see in a thousand ways: blurring and lens of the eye, it’s perspectivist pedagogy. In its perennial but fickle waters leads us to nomadic revealed secrets about human nature. Perspectivism and instability are two adoptable aspects to understand Amerindian literature such as sailed in this essay. Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Indigenous authors of Brazil. Milton Hatoum. Guimarães Rosa. Amerindian souls which sometimes are diving and sometimes are floating in these rebel waters.
