Manuela Picq ─ Cosmopolitan Amazons: Disentangling Modernity from the State
Tuesday, Nov 4 12:00p
McKinney Conference Room, Watson Institute
Providence,
RI
How did indigenous peoples come to participate in a parade for gay rights in a place called Benjamin Constant deep in the Amazon? What may appear as anecdotal raises less trivial questions. It is unexpected to find sociocultural modernity in a region epitomizing a wild, isolated, and apolitical nature. How are we to reconcile prevailing understandings of an Amazon detached from political modernity with its cosmopolitan LGBT scene?
