The Hunter’s Song is a publication that attempts to make visible the different layers of violence that lie within the imaginaries and narratives produced by Il Guarany, an influential Brazilian opera composed by Carlos Gomes in 1870. The publication focus on the first song of the opera, the choir of the hunters, as both symbolic and indexical material. The first part, Hunting Scenes, is a text that explores how the imaginary of hunting in Brazil relates to the genocidal practices carried out in the country throughout the centuries. The second part, The Hunter’s Song, puts in relation the original score of the song with new lyrics composed using fragments of the accounts of bugreiros , mercearies payed by the state and colonization companies to hunt and kill indigenous people in the 19th and early 20th century.
