“Fire in the Archive”. Amerindian practices, knowledges and repertoires in Contemporary Latin American Culture

Main Article Content

Abstract

During the first decades of the 21st century, Amerindian practices, knowledge, imaginaries, and repertoires gained unprecedented visibility. Works and installations by Amerindian artists are featured in art biennials, and texts by Amerindian writers and intellectuals win prestigious awards for the first time in history. In this paper, I analyze some Amerindian practices and repertoires to interrogate how they pluralize the pasts of Latin American culture, and their legacies, but also, I would like to suggest, the forms, materials, and repertoires of what we understand today as contemporary art and writing in Latin America.
