    Os relatos do Caminho-Morte: etnografia e tradução de poéticas ameríndias
    (Instituto de Estudos Avançados da Universidade de São Paulo, 2012-12-01) Cesarino, Pedro De Niemeyer [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The article addresses aspects of the ethnography and the translation of the poetry of Amerindian peoples from the South American lowlands, particularly the Marubo (Javari valley, Amazon). I begin with a brief review of theoretical perspectives that are central to understanding the subject and go on to argue that the work of translational re-creation of songs and narratives derived from oral performances should be carried out in tandem with the work of conceptual translation. Finally, I provide a bilingual rendering of a long narrative testimony on posthumous fate and the formation of the Way of the Dead (The Reports of the Death-Path), as given by Marubo shaman Armando Cherõpapa.
