Abstract

The article carries out a radical contextualization of the notion of the archive, understood as a historical and therefore political phenomenon, in order to draw attention to lives that refuse to be erased by worldviews that are imposed as universal. By problematizing the relationship between history, fabulation, the archive and those excluded (from history and the archive), we investigate the power relations involved in the constitution, organization and access to archives in order to understand the power to manufacture life. The documentary "Essa terra é nossa!" allows us to explore the relationship between images and Brazilian indigenous collectivities in their struggle to take part in history, while proposing the production of a negative or inverse archive that is produced from the absence of images and documents from the past.
