The Maraka’Nà Village, an indigenous pluriversity in the urban center

The rexistence of the forest cosmogony

Abstract

The article analyzes Maraka’Nà village as a device of subjectification and production of indigenous singularities based on the composition of a multi-ethnic and multicultural collective. The description of the studied field turns to the process of re-signification of the investigated territory, referring to the old Museu do Índio, emphasizing the spatial demarcation and the delimitation of an indigenous enunciation in the landscape. The article highlights the reforestation and the inscriptions and paintings in graffiti as elements of identity affirmation of the urban indigenous. A theoretical reflection is carried out based on the conceptual production of the village centered on the ideas of pluriversity and re-existence, with the aim of seeing a cosmology of the forest in the functioning of an autonomous multi-ethnic indigenous university in the Maraka’Nà village. It defends a multicultural diasporic production, centered on the production of poetics of difference and ecosophyc sociability practices. The discussion is interspersed with excerpts from interviews conducted in the field that highlights the importance of indigenous worldviews in the construction of a territoriality for the living being.
