In our next Community Forum we are diving into the entangled topics of art, literature, Amazonian shamanism, and Indigenous knowledge, cosmologies, and traditions. Pedro de Niemeyer Cesarino will lay out his unique trajectory as an anthropologist and writer, his research with Marubo Indigenous people from the Amazon, and his literary work. What are the relations between art and anthropology? What are the ties between ethnology and fiction literature? How did his literary production dialogue with his research on shamanism and Amazonian narratives? Among several books he has published “Oniska: Poética do Xamanismo na Amazônia” (Oniska: the Poetry of Shamanism in the Amazon), an ethnographic research project on cosmology, shamanism and poetics. Pedro has a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology (National Museum, UFRJ) and is currently a professor at the University of São Paulo. Our interviewer for this forum is Bia Labate, who has a Ph.D. in Anthropology (Unicamp) and is the Executive Director of Chacruna Institute.
