The poetics of Sérgio Medeiros in the paths of Animism and Amerindian Perspectivism

Resumo

The poet Sérgio Medeiros is a native of Bela Vista Mato Grosso do sul on the border between Brazil and Paraguay, his works highlight the Amerindian culture and also break down the pre-established barriers between humans and non-humans by Western society.  The author's Figurative, Pagan Trio and Calligraphies highlight this animist characteristic of the poet since they present the Amerindian perspective of attributing the soul to all beings that make up nature, attributing to leaves, stones, trees, and other constitutive elements of nature human qualities, a vision that goes against the theories of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro,  Philipe Descola and indigenous thinker Ailton Krenak.
