From "Ugh" to Babble (or Babel)
This essay reveals the play of fiction and reality in cinematic depictions of Native Amazonian language and speech in films from the 1980s to the present. It considers these linguistic representations, linguistic simulacra, to be tokens of "primitivist linguistic imagery," part of a broader semiotics of primitivism that invokes a set of assumptions about modernity and primitivity as well as understandings of Native (Amazonian) Peoples as primitiv…
A'ãma Mrémé
A'ãma mrémé, or a'ãma speech, spoken by incumbents of a special ceremonial role within central Brazilian A'uwẽ-Xavante society, illustrates Joel Sherzer's argument regarding the centrality of speech play to both linguistic and social analysis. A'ãma mrémé is a ludic code variant, a system of lexical substitution primarily at the level of nouns and verbs, spoken exclusively by a'ãma. Morphological analysis of of a'ãma mrémé reveals the existence o…
Toward Representational Sovereignty
Focusing on the communities of Eténhiritipa-Pimentel Barbosa of eastern Mato Grosso, Brazil, this article considers the tremendous shift that has taken place over the last twenty-five years in A’uw ẽ- Xavante peoples’ use of audio-visual media to achieve greater representational sovereignty. It discusses the adoption of video in the context of A’uwẽ - Xavante ideologies and gendered patterns of dealing with the outside and their prior use of cass…

Citando Mario Juruna
No presente artigo, revelo os mecanismos textuais que influentes editores de notícias empregaram para manipular a compreensão popular acerca de Mario Juruna, líder xavante que desempenhou um papel importante no avanço da democracia durante a ditadura militar brasileira e se tornou o primeiro indígena eleito para o Congresso Nacional. Argumento que os editores usaram as mensagens implícitas da representação da linguagem para encetar mudanças na pe…
Quoting Mario Juruna
In this article, I reveal the textual mechanisms that influential news editors employed to manipulate popular understandings of Mario Juruna, a Xavante leader who played an important role in advancing democracy during Brazil's military dictatorship and became the first Indian elected to national office. I argue that editors used the implicit messages of represented language to initiate shifts in the public's perception of the Xavante leader and t…

Image and instrumentality in a Xavante politics of existential recognition
This analysis of one Xavante group's innovative projects to represent Xavante culture to nonindigenous audiences reveals multiple and complex perceptions of instrumentalities as well as political goals. Unlike many contemporary Native (Amazonian and other) groups that use aspects of their culture to attract support and achieve concrete political goals, local objectives are relatively abstract and future oriented, having to do with public "image" …

The Last Cannibals
Performing Dreams
Over several centuries, the Xavante of Central Brazil have maintained an invincible sense of identity and feeling of control over historical processes, despite repeated invasions by colonists and settlers, capitalist commercial ventures, and most recently, an enormous government-sponsored agricultural project. In this discourse-centered study, Laura Graham explores how the Xavante use the ritual performance of myths and dreams to maintain their c…
Performing dreams
"Discourse-centered approach to Xavante culture focuses on the performance of songs, the telling of dreams, and the transmission of culture. Principal arguments are that the meaning of expressive practices is constructed through performance; that dreams may be seen as communicative and hence social processes; and that discursive practices are essential to the process of cultural transmission"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
The Shifting Middle Ground
sOver the past decade in Brazil, the convergence between international environmentalism and indigenous cultural survival concerns led to an unprecedented internationalization of local A native struggles. The Indian-environmentalist alliance has benefited both parties, but recent events suggest that it may be unstable and may pose political risks for native people. The limitations of transnational symbolic politics as a vehicle for indigenous acti…

A public sphere in Amazonia? the depersonalized collaborative construction of discourse in Xavante
What are the discourse presuppositions of the Habermasian public sphere? The present article explores this question by comparing the Western philosophy of language with the political discourse practices of the Xavante Indians of central Brazil. Specifically, it focuses on the relationships among discourse, the individual, and the collectivity. Discursive practices in Xavante men's council meetings pragmatically represent discourse as an emergent …

Dialogic Dreams
This article discusses male Xavante youths' experience of subjectivity through exploration of dream-songs using, following Singer, a Peircian model of the semiotic self. Dreamed songs are shown to straddle the territory between the domains of individual subjectivity and publicly circulating discursive practice, mediating between the creativity and experience of individual selves and the experience of collectivity. Preinitiates construct images of…
