The paper explores how indigenous knowledge and hybridity were displayed at the exhibition to celebrate the fourth centennial of São Paulo city in 1954. The exhibition was curated by the Portuguese scholar Jaime Cortesão, who spent seventeen years exiled in Brazil and actively participated in intellectual controversies about territorial exploration and colonial encounters. Considering Cortesão's mobilities and his dialogues with Brazilian scholars, the paper proposes a critical and decolonial gaze to texts, images and objects selected to depict encounters in São Paulo exhibition. Drawing on sources from the National Library of Portugal and media reports published in the Brazilian press, the paper explored two categories incorporated in Cortesão's curation work to reconcile local, national and colonial identities: Tupi and Bandeirante. By exploring how Cortesão used these categories to reinforce Portuguese colonial agency in Brazilian territorial exploration, this paper suggested that critical studies of hybridism could provide essential insights for contemporary postcolonial and decolonial scholarship.

展示相遇:Jaime Cortesão 的圣保罗展览和巴西历史上的土著知识

这篇论文探讨了土著知识和杂交是如何在 1954 年庆祝圣保罗市 400 周年的展览上展示的。展览由葡萄牙学者 Jaime Cortesão 策划,他在巴西流亡了 17 年,并积极参与关于领土探索和殖民遭遇。考虑到 Cortesão 的流动性以及他与巴西学者的对话,该论文提出了一种批判性和非殖民主义的视角,以对在圣保罗展览中选择描绘遭遇的文本、图像和对象进行批判。该论文利用葡萄牙国家图书馆的资料和巴西媒体发表的媒体报道,探讨了 Cortesão 策展工作中包含的两个类别,以调和当地、民族和殖民身份:Tupi 和 Bandeirante。
