Um xamã yanomami frente ao discurso filosófico-sociológico da modernidade by Leno Francisco Danner, Julie Stéfane Dorrico Peres

“…En este texto, que busca tejer un diálogo entre la literatura y la filosofía-sociología, desarrollaremos un doble argumento, basado en una discusión entre la obra La caída del cielo: palabras de un chamán yanomami, de David Kopenawa y Bruce Albert, y la teoría filosófico-sociológica de la modernidad de Jürgen Habermas: i) el sello distintivo de la literatura indígena, en su género autobiográfico, consiste en la correlación fundamental entre historia personal y destino colectivo (en el nivel socio-cultural y ecológico-espiritual), dinamizada por y basada en el mito, de manera que tal correlación entre la identidad personal y el destino colectivo se ofrece como una clave de lectura epistemológica, estética, política, antropológica y ontológica para acceder al texto-praxis indígena; ii) ello permite deconstruir la visión idílica que la Europa moderna tiene sobre sí misma y su comprensión caricaturesca de las culturas, las epistemologías y los hombres primitivos (no modernos, pre-modernos - porque después de la modernidad no se tendría más nada, ya ella es el vértice de la evolución humana, en términos epistemológicos y ontológicos), en la que, en primer lugar, la modernidad sería racional, generando la individulización, la crítica, la emancipación y el universalismo, debido a la separación entre historia personal y destino colectivo, y en segundo lugar, la cultura tradicional no generaría racionalización ni crítica, ni emancipación ni universalismo, al ser marcada por la imbricación entre la historia personal y el destino colectivo mediado por el mito. …”
