SUMMARY:

In this thesis, which spans the entire SARS-COV 19 pandemic, I argue that there is an
intimate relationship between land and words. Intimacy to be reclaimed by insurgent
gestures against the logic of the commodity, which in its set of assumptions and practices,
manifests itself as the exploitation of life and the subjugation of bodies. To this end, I
delved into The Fall of Heaven: Words of a Yanomami Shaman (Kopenawa; Albert, 2015)
to hear what the words of the shaman are and can be in the time of the pimping of life
(Suely Rolnik, 2019) and, in them, to read the marks that Davi Kopenawa traces as modes

of resistance to the capitalocene. The thesis is organized into two sections: Part I - Letters-
Images and Part II - Letters of the Letter. In the first section, I outline my process of

approaching the words of the shaman in confluence with Davi's letter-drawings. In the
second section, I perform a literary exercise as an entry into the territories of
palavrimagem, protopalavra and terrapalavra, terms encountered in the research process.
Methodologically, I place my body in the territory of the shaman's words as a gesture of

re-presentation of the word and fruition in the project of critical reading for a counter-
colonial Brazil.
