Papers by Rafael Cardoso
art history has been shaped by colonial structures – it
also means breaking up those structures. Based on
his own experience in the academic world, where his
subject area is still regarded as marginal, the Brazilian
art historian Rafael Cardoso asks how we can expand
the canon and whether this action could mark the
beginning of the process of its decolonization. Cardoso
emphasizes the anti-imperialist dimensions of “decolonization” as a term, which is currently undergoing a
kind of semantic inflation and is increasingly used in a
metaphorical way. According to the author, the aim is
not to achieve diversification while maintaining existing
structures in place; instead, there needs to be a fundamental decentering of the geographic and racialized
power structure that grew out of colonialism.
The present article examines the relationship between intellectuals and political autonomy in the Brazilian cultural context, focusing on a historical case study: the actions of two of the most important leaders of the modernist movement, Mário de Andrade and Oswald de Andrade. Special consideration is given to two
lectures delivered by them, “The modernist movement” (1942) and “The path trodden” (1944), respectively. How did these authors react to powerful pressures by the Vargas dictatorship to control information and cultural discourse? Mário de Andrade attempted to draw near to the authorities, but afterwards publicly expressed regret and self-criticism. Oswald de Andrade, engaged in communist circles, kept a distance from official patronage at the time. The results of their respective attitudes are indicative of the difficult position of Brazilian intellectuals faced with an authoritarian State.
