A cultura indígena em Ay Kakyri Tama: eu moro na cidade, de Márcia Kambeba

Abstract

This master’s work aims to present, discuss and analyze the indigenous ancestral memory present in the work Ay Kakyri Tama: eu moro na cidade, by Márcia Wayna Kambeba, in its second edition, published in 2018. Therefore, the analyzed work is marked by strong traces of orality and social representation, emerges in the text as a celebration of life and identity, through memories, customs, myths and mysteries of the forest, all transmitted in the narrative repertoires of the Omágua/Kambeba ethnic group, passed down from generation to generation, in the memory that constitutes unity to cultural identity. With the process of narrating, the past becomes valuable for ethnic unity, because in the sharing of knowledge, dreams and myths, territory and ethnic identity are indelibly delimited. In this sense, Kambeba's work takes shape in the manifestations of belonging to a territoriality, where songs, dances, language are revived and these narratives transmit the community knowledge of its cultural traditions, preventing identity and culture from being forgotten. Therefore, this study analyzed the poems and photographs belonging to the work Ay Kakyri Tama: eu moro na cidade (2018), by Márcia Kambeba, which starts from a plural writing, that is, it involves denunciations about the ills caused by the colonialist logic, in addition, it is an engaged writing that has the commitment to the Omágua/Kambeba ethnicity. The theoretical foundations of our research are based primarily on the studies of Silva (2012), Kambeba (2013; 2018a; 2018b; 2020a; 2020b; 2021), Dorrico, Danner, Correia and Danner (2018), Dorrico, Danner and Danner (2020), Hakiy (2018), Jekupé (2009; 2021), Jecupé (2020), Munduruku (2012; 2014; 2016; 2018), Graúna (2013), Potiguara (2020), Pachamama (2018; 2020) e Angatu (2020). Thus, it is expected to contribute to the social role of researchers, by providing academic and social visibility and seeking an intercultural perspective in literary studies that value the diversity of indigenous peoples, expanding research on indigenous literature.
