Sumario:Th is paper aims to think about dialoguesbetween Anthropology and Literature according to some thoughts of the modernist writer Oswald de Andrade. Practitioner of an anthropology without métier, he faces various anthropological problems,including his intrinsic relationship with literal Anthropophagy, as well as topics such as alterity, domination, primitivism. We pursue in this paper therelations of affi nity between Anthropology and Anthropophagy, identifying an analogy between the interests of the other constituent of anthropological operation and anthropophagic maximum:”I only care what is not mine. Law of the man. Law of the anthropophagigous. First we analyze the anthropophagous relation of”going to the people” with the anthropological relation of “going to do fi eldwork”.Th is will lead us to think the present concepts about the clash between the so-called primitive people and Western civilization. Based on these relations,we will see how literary Anthropophagy and Anthropology interlace and(mis) match.
