This practice is the defining trait and epithet of a gigantic riverboat peddler who steals the hero’s stone talisman in a novel that Katrina Dodson translated in 2023. A short-lived journal titled for this practice published a poem in which the speaker vows to never “forget… in the life of my fatigued retinas” after seeing a stone “In the Middle of the Road.” This practice serves as a metaphor for the author’s interest in “what isn’t mine” in a text by a Group of Five member who planned the 1922 Modern Art Week with the author (10[1])of (10[1])Macunaíma (10[1])(“mah-koo-nah-EE-muh”). This practice titles a manifesto (10[3])that includes a print (10[1])of Tarsila (10[2])do (10[1])Amaral’s (10[1])painting (10[1])Abaporu (10[3])and the pun (10[1])“Tupí or not (10[1])tupí.” (10[4])Oswald de Andrade (10[1])(“OHZ-vald jee ahn-DRAH-jee”) led a movement named for this practice in Brazil. For 10 points, what practice’s ceremonial use by indigenous Amazonians inspired an essay by Michel de Montaigne (10[1])■END■
