Abstract

The essay seeks to present the writer Oswald de Andrade as the formulator of an anthropo-philosophy, or an anthropophagic political anthropology, which issues both in a peculiar Brazilian decolonial political thought, as well as a “metacultural” philosophical reflection. To this end, the author's life and work were analyzed in order to understand how the notion of anthropophagy operates on two levels, one discursive and the other normative. Finally, given that this is an anthropophagic essay, a discursive language was utilized that sought to be minimally faithful to the aesthetic proposals of the author analysed; a fact not common in the academic field.
