Oswald de Andradre, around 1920

Oswald de Andrade (born January 11, 1890 in São Paulo ; † October 22, 1954 ibid) was a Brazilian writer and co-founder of Brazilian modernism .

Oswald de Andrade was the partner of the artist Tarsila do Amaral and, together with her and Mário de Andrade , Anita Malfatti and Menotti del Picchia, was a member of the Grupo dos Cinco ("Group of Five") and an employee of the cultural magazine Semana de Arte Moderna . He wrote two poetic manifestos , the avant-garde demands of which he sought to fulfill in plays and novels. His most famous manifesto was the Manifesto Antropófago . It contains a program for a free, classless society based on matriarchal prehistory.

Antropophagy movement

Oswald de Andrade was a co-founder of a socially critical and cultural revolutionary anthropophagy movement in Brazil. With apparent contradictions such as national and international, regional and cosmopolitan, the latest European styles were taken up and a new self-confidence developed with the help of a "tropical" regionalism as a counter-movement to the European dominance culture. According to the anthrophagic motto "Instead of pushing away the foreign, eating the foreign", he and the movement against the destructive, dominant and racist elements of European culture developed artistic counter-actions based on ethical reasons. He opposed cleanliness, scientificity and the "European desire for difference" with "tropical rampant growth, appropriation, naivety, wildness and poetry". The movement got its name from a picture of Tarsila do Amaral Abaporú from 1928. Abaporú means anthropophage in the language of the Tupí , which means man- eater . The Anthropophagic Manifesto was published in the first edition of the Revista de Antropofagia in São Paulo in 1928 and appeared in German in 1990 in the cultural newspaper Lettre International .

Influence in Germany

The artists and philosophers Luzenir Caixeta and Rubia Salgado from the Organization Theory and Practice of a Migrant Self- Organization (MAIZ) refer again today to Oswald de Andrade and the anthrophagic movement. In 2004 they published in Spricht die Subalterne deutsch? an anthology of postcolonial criticism, their manifesto against the " ethnocentric cultural hegemony of the north" and declare: "We oppose any practice of ascription, be it in the form of victimization or exoticization ." Here they point to similarities to Oswald de Andrade in their attempts to create "new politics of visualization" and to develop new forms of representation.
