PERSPECTIVISM AND COSMOPOLITICS IN POLIEDRO BY MURILO MENDES

This paper aims to investigate the possible relationship between the polyhedral poetic of Murilo Mendes in Poliedro (1972) and the theory of Amerindian Perspectivism of Viveiros de Castro (1996) and Lima (1996). It is proposed to analyze the figurations of non-humans beings in Poliedro in order to demonstrate its uniqueness, indicating a possible underlying cosmopolitics to the murilian poetics. The approach made between the mentioned works points to an interspacing area, which is an intermundane cosmopolitan sphere, whose basic relational principle is a radical acknowledging of the possible alterities. In this sense, the considerations on murilian poetics are tied in the Cosmopolitical Proposal of Isabelle Stengers (2007), suggesting a reconfiguration of the relationships between antropology and fiction. From these considerations, it is advanced, finally, certain questions on the relationship between anthropology and fiction, which imply perhaps seeing poetics, fiction, not as we accounted drifting of ourselves, but as an invitation a spread transindividual and not inter-subjective metamorphosis and alteration process, intra-differentiated and non identitary.
