“The Amazon of Euclides da Cunha and Mário de Andrade: Ecological Perspectives ‘Beyond Fordlândia’” repositions the Amazonian writings of these two authors in a broader discussion of ecocriticism and presenting the documentary Beyond Fordlândia (2017) to rethink the Nature&Culture relationships composing the Brazilian Amazon. Reimagining this conceptual pair facilitates an interpretation of Brazil through Amazonia by establishing connections between past and present predatory projects and considering their environmental impacts. This enables us to examine the narratives on Amazonia outside common interpretations and perceive perspectives crossed and crystalized by outdated rhetorical figures. These are the objectives confirming the hypothesis of ecological thought present in the Amazonian narratives of Euclides da Cunha and Mário de Andrade. Such rhetorical figures inform, record, archive, perpetuate and handicap other epistemologies on the region. These authors’ literary and scientific artifacts strive to impart a representation/configuration of Brazil that portrays Amazonian geography without forgetting its human and non-human agents. Ecological perspectives guide discussion and bring forth concerns, themes and questions facing Amazonia to reveal a plurality of subjects affected by slow violence in the Anthropocene scenario. The concept of slow violence and the analytical categories of slow seeing, tropi-ecology and ecological rhapsody are interpretative keys that foster a comprehension of this thesis’ approach, seeking to establish connections between the predatory projects and environmental impacts of yesteryear in Amazonia with the industrial technology and agribusiness implanted in the region today.
