(3) ' Por que os deuses solteiros emplumam a face da castanheira?' (Why are the gods fledging the great chestnut tree, Modida-ro?)

One of the central moments of ArawetГ©: cannibal gods is the analysis of the 'song of the chestnut tree.' This chant, produced by the Indian KГЈГ±ГЇpaye-ro at dawn on December 26, 1982, was used by Viveiros de Castro to illustrate the enunciative-quotational complexity of the shamanistic chants of the ArawetГ©. Keywords: Amerindian poetry, Translation, Viveiros de Castro, ArawetГ©. For Castro, these chants are 'a song of songs, a polylogical speech of speeches.' That is why we first analyze the chant's enunciative complexity and only afterwards provide a retranslation. According to Castro, the 'Song of the Chestnut Tree', the name he gave to the chant, illustrates the enunciative-quotational complexity of the shamanistic chants of the ArawetГ©. aim of this paper is to offer a retranslation of a chant of the ArawetГ©, originally translated and annotated by anthropologist Viveiros de Castro in ArawetГ©: the cannibal gods. He has experience in Poetry and Translation, working especially in the following areas: translation, compared poetics and poetry. He is a professor of French literature at USP. ГЃlvaro Faleiros holds a degree in Social Sciences from the State University of Campinas (1994), a Master's degree in Linguistics from UniversitГ© du QuГ©bec Г MontrГ©al (1998) and a PhD in French Language and Literature from the University of SГЈo Paulo (2003).
