Inés Pérez-Wilke, « Incorporaciones. De la metáfora antropofágicaa las sociedades heterogéneas », HAL-SHS : histoire, ID : 10670/1.o35pjv
This paper reviews ways of incorporating cultural elements from some traditions into others, and forms of appropriat-ing and reworking cultural heritage in relation to what is being produced by subaltern peoples from the worlds andterritories of South America. Anthropophagic practices such as metaphor, the mestizo and cholo as discourse/people,radical heterogeneity as a strategy, are understood as forms and times of intersection between differentiated epistemicuniverses. This reflection is based on corporal references to food and metabolic processes, which respond to organicallusions as well as the symbolic, metaphoric and allegoric dimensions of food, allowing the debate to shift to theeconomic and political aspects of the circulation and use of cultural utterances. Examples of this include indigenousand Afro-descendant cultural practices linked to sacrifice, possession, and ritual foods, on the one hand, and rework-ings of contemporary experiences by ethnically differentiated youth, the practical operators of proposed conceptions.
