This article crosses musical territories to highlight aspects from Amazonian life, taking a critical-guerrilla-fighter perspective pronounced in the musical experience and perception of four composers: Vital Farias, Xangai, Mestre Lourival Igarapé and the author-composer of this piece, who feel and express Amazon from multiple angles and specific sensibilities.

This article travels through the rivers and lands of a territorial body in to a lived and imagined Amazon, a place of origin and affection that, telling the stories of the Ykamyabas –a tribe of women without husbands who lived in the lower Amazon River region –, gather the traces left for their mythical imagery in the archetypal relationship of the wild woman in narratives that come mainly through orality, from ways of life that subvert the split of the world operated by the dualism culture/nature, male/female, body/mind. To articulate scenes and, through photography, reconstruct realities, in a knowledge revealed by the mythical fact of the dream, of becoming an artist, of the subjectivity invested with the body, planting clues to other possible worlds.

Based on accounts and rewrites, this article intends to think about paths in photography history, their connections between ethics and use of image and narrative appropriations. Taking the Pará Amazon as a place of reflection, an effort is made to rethink the power relation-ship constituted by a specific point of view in the history of image. This text had the collaboration of Izabelle Louise Anaúa Tremembé, an indigenous student at Federal University of Pará (UFC). In her accounts, she talks about appropriation culture, exoticization of sacred objects, and sexualization of female bodies, as well in her speech, she affirms the lack of knowledge when it comes to their rituals and even brought up that indigenous autonomy in making art has always existed. The accounts were articulated on the occasion of the meeting between teachers and photography and cinema producers, in April 2019, Alcantara, Maranhão.

In An Amazonian Identity on the Move: The Work With Hammocks, the hammock was an object of interest. Since the arrival of Europeans in Brazil, both because of novelty and usefulness, this indigenous invention has been for writers and personalities, a theme of many texts. In a letter to Portugal, Pero Vaz de Caminha mentioned its presence with enthusiasm. Since then, the Portuguese settlers’ wives started to adapt it, adding ornamental balconies, taking for themselves the local custom.

Mulheres de fogo is the poem that names Roberta Tavares’ zine (handcrafted independent minibook). The first edition was in 2018, and after his great performance and circulation not only in the city of Belém but beyond, a second edition, in 2019 was assembled, just like the third in 2020. All this repercussion puts in check the idea that people don’t buy, don’t read or even are not interested in poetry. According to the poet, maybe this idea has more to do with publishing market monopoly, and its consequences than properly with the poetry itself. Women of Fire was the poem of the mentioned independent publication that became the best known, read and recited poem by several women of several places.KEYWORDS:

Based on the uses and circulation of beads between the inhabitantsof the Parque do Tumucumaque and Rio Paru d'Este Indigenous Reserves (Tiriyó, Katxuyana, Wayana, Aparai), located in the north of Pará, I indicate the im-portance of everyday life and the alterity in the aesthetics of these Amazonian peoples. -and how this experience impacts beyond the Amazon. Mobilizing elements of the history and cosmology of the peoples of the region, I bring elements that can contribute to debates about authorship, cultural transformations and the role of women in the production of bodies and arts. This article was prepared based on bibliographic and ethnographic research, including a visit to the collection of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi.

This text presents the transcripts of the interviews conducted with the artists Simone Moraes and Sonia Gomes for the documentary Sentidos do fio, a project of one documentary about the motivations and reflections carried out by contemporary Brazilian artists whose research touches the investigation with thread as materiality and concept in this art. The interviews present an overview of the artists' relations with textiles, the insertion of practices, originally restricted to domestic spaces, in the contemporary art scene, the deconstruction and undoing of uses and expansion of language.

This article deals with a performance research in the process of creating ritual games, intertwining daily experiences with decolonial feminisms, ritual performance and symbols of the number three intrinsic to Exu. From a continuous letter addressed to Gloria Anzaldúa, it is discussed how decolonial theoretical concepts are connected with collective performance actions and the principles of the orisha. The present work investigates the crossroads as an expansion of the possibilities of being a woman, using the need for self-enunciation being so urgent to think about art, politics and daily life in the contemporary Latin scene.

The article brings together two productions from different fields, the book The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and the work of Marcel Du-champ, especially With My Tongue on My Cheek, to treat them as tips of the same iceberg, namely the change of the historical paradigmatic sign regime referenced in the symbol for the post-historic, which has the index as reference, according to the definitions of Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics,as well as the influence of technical images in this process, based on the analysis of Vilém Flusser, which focuses on the cultural dynamics of the West, and the resumption of the hegemony of imagination inherent in the domain of logic that produces meaning by devices.

In 1928, writer Mario de Andrade presented to the conservative Brazilian society the pages of Macunaíma. Four decades later, film director Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, inspired on the book, brought Macunaíma to the film screens. Two creative appearances about the same character, in different languages, which have become symbols of artistic movements: “Modernismo” and “Cinema Novo”. This work aims to analyze the intersemiotic tensions created from the written signs that identify the hero Macunaíma, and its transposition to the audiovisual media, taking into account the limits of each medium and how social and political context influenced these artists.
