Description:
In recent years, LGBT+ people deprived of liberty have consolidated themselves as subjects of rights in several Latin American contexts – a phenomenon analyzed by a growing number of researchers. Despite some important legal and institutional advances, the challenges faced by this population are immense, having been aggravated in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic.
At this event, we had the presence of the renowned Mexican activist Ari Vera Morales, president of the Civil Association Almas Cautivas, to hold a debate on this topic of great political and social relevance. Also participating are researchers on the subject and representatives of projects that work with the reintegration of trans people who have spent time in prison. The proposal is to think not only about the prison experience, but also ways to combat the criminalization of these lives and prevent recidivism.
 
Corpas Trans USP will assist in the transport logistics between the venue and the Butantã subway, ensuring the safety of the dissident bodies participating in the event. Contact @ma.andoyiki for more details

TALK WITH ADALBERTO MÜLLER
GUARANI MBYA COSMOPOETICS: (RE)TRANSLATING AYVU RAPYTA

After an immersion in the study of some languages of the Tupi-Guarani family (particularly Mbyá, Guarani and Kaiowá), I propose a rhythmic and annotated retranslation of the Ayvu Rapyta, in addition to a study on its cosmopoetics. When speaking of cosmopoetics, I understand that it is a cosmology (or cosmogony) in which the poetic aspect engenders something that seems to go far beyond “mythology”. Observing the language in which Ayvu Rapyrta is based – a language that is extremely difficult to translate – it is noted that it is organized as a genuine way of thinking about the various worlds we inhabit. In this lecture, I intend to discuss some fundamental concepts of Ayvu Rapyta, such as language/soul (ayvu/ñe'ẽ), love (mborayu), rhythm (mba'e a'ã), and good living (teko porã).
