Communication processes and anthropophagic poetics in contemporary narratives Communication processes and anthropophagic poetics in contemporary narratives

Abstract

This article problematizes part of the narratives departing from the 100th anniversary of the Modern Art Week (2022), which point to the need for a critical review of the legacy of Brazilian modernism.  From media narratives and academic reflections on the repercussions of the Modernist Movement, we highlight the need for revisions, such as the discussion about women's participation and, especially, on one of its main developments (and to some extent, its opposition), the anthropophagic movement, led by Oswald de Andrade. We conclude that anthropophagy remains a theoretical-methodological proposal to understand cultural processes and, under the scope of communication, media narratives.
