Oswaldo Costa anthropophagous

Abstract

The article addresses the trajectory of Oswaldo Costa, from Anthropophagy to later political journalism, focusing on his work in Revista de Antropofagia, as one of its main theorizers, and emphasizing his work in O Semanário, an independent left-wing newspaper that circulated from the mid-1950s until the civil-military coup in 1964. What we explore, throughout the research, is the permanence of the interests defended by the anthropophagic movement in the 1920s in the causes embraced by the O Semanário decades later, showing consistency in Oswaldo Costa's beliefs and ideology, but a radical change in the strategies of struggle to achieve the objectives.
