This article aims at analyzing the reading device created by Silviano Santiago in his investigation of the cultural turning point that repositioned literary studies and the relations between Art and Politics in the late 1970s in Brazil. This article elects three essays by Santiago, elaborated at different moments of his intellectual trajectory, from which I seek to identify common critical procedures that characterize a singular manner of approaching the object. Its recurrence reveals an obsession of the critic for the inflections and decentrations in the order of culture. The emphasis is on the figure of Caetano Veloso and his anthropophagic attitude. Velosos’s work, in confluence with that of Santiago, combines elements of different cultural records, in order to reveal the ambiguities and paradoxes established between the aesthetic and the political field, between art and culture, in the process of conservative modernization of Brazilian society.
