| Sumario: | This article considers the incorporation of categories from the Afro-American and indigenous worlds, by intellectuals who were diverse but equally influenced by primitivism in the fields of Latin American anthropology and art, between the 1920s and 1960s: the Brazilian Mário de Andrade, the Cuban Alejo Carpentier, the French (specialist in Afro-Brazilian religions) Roger Bastide and the Argentine Rodolfo Kusch. In particular, the work focuses on the questioning of synthetic dialectics, identity stability, and even Western rationalism as a whole, to some extent, by these authors, as a result of deep familiarity with central concepts in those popular grassroots cultures, especially in the areas of religiosity and mythical thinking. Indirectly, the article seeks to contribute to the rethinking of intellectual history, to attend to the influence not only of the ideas that come from the literate universes, but also of the basic cosmovisions (alien - at least partially - to Western rationalism), with which intellectuals can establish solid links to the point of formulating new categories, even questioning the Eurocentrism of the dominant theoretical models. |
