| Resumo: | This is an interpretive essay on the song Um Índio, by Caetano Veloso, based on decolonial thinking. My interlocutors will be Quijano, Dussel, and Mariátegui. The album Bicho is crucial to understand the analysis, where I briefly discuss certain dimensions of the santamarense author’s philosophy. These elements were explained to indicate the questions Caetano’s work raised for me. The methodology is a decolonial, dialectical, and documentary analysis. The categories, concepts, and analytical keys detailed herein are heteronomy, estrangement, coloniality of power, coloniality of knowledge, corporeity, anti-patriarchy, erotica, heterogeneity, philosophy of liberation, world-system, exteriority, return of the future, horizon, utopia, and cultural dependence. The synthesis is that the song has a vehement decolonial trace, although not necessarily intentional. |
