Abstract

This article seeks to present reflections on the relations between memory, time, and politics based on the analysis of critical interventions by indigenous peoples in the context of the commemoration of the "500 years of Brazil" in the year 2000. For this purpose, the text "The eternal return of the encounter" by Ailton Krenak and public manifestations of indigenous organizations in April 2000 are analyzed, with the objective of understanding how the ways of relating and accessing the past and the conceptions of contemporaneity and the present were being disputed in this context. Based on this case study and through the mobilization of the concept of politics of time proposed by María Inés Mudrovicic, the debate is approached with the theoretical-methodological and ethical-political challenges of the field of the history of the present time.
