Of Cannibals and the Recycling of Otherness
Rogério Budasz

The earliest examples of musical interactions between Europe and Brazil, 
as well as the first reports of musical practices of the Brazilian 
natives, are, in one way or another, related to cannibalism. That 
practice was a way of recycling otherness: the cooking and eating of 
prisoners and the reworking of their cultural products express the 
cannibal’s interest in the other; they serve as mechanisms to assimilate 
otherness and transform the natural into the cultural. In the twentieth 
century, artistic and musical avant-gardes in Brazil developed the idea 
of ‘cultural cannibalism’, urging a critical ingestion of European 
culture and the reworking of that tradition in Brazilian terms, assuming 
a sort of national unconscious in which the cannibal mind is still at 
work, in the masticating, digesting, and rewriting of the outsider. This 
concept, sometimes defined as ‘anthropophagic reason’, is brought to 
bear on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and is used to compare 
the symbolism of human-eating practices and the desire for absorbing 
otherness, including music, in contemporary Amazonian societies.
