abstract
Based on the Lévi-Strauss's classic “Writing lesson", and guided by Derrida and Librandi-Rocha’s re-readings of this text, this article seeks to think how Amerindian perspectivism relates to the broad notion of writing, proposed by Derrida and, also, to the act of creation as suggested by Deleuze. The discussion goes on to think about how Amerindian literary theory relates to the Oswaldian maxim “I am only interested in what is not mine”, this is to say, it understands literature and writing as an opening to a radical otherness, a plea for the “people who are missing”.
