A short-lived journal titled for this practice published a poem in which the speaker vows to never “forget… in the life of my fatigued retinas” after seeing a stone “In the Middle of the Road.” This practice serves as a metaphor for the author’s interest in “what isn’t mine” in a text by a Group of Five member who planned the 1922 Modern Art Week with the author of Macunaíma (“mah-koo-nah-EE-muh”). This practice titles a manifesto that includes a print of Tarsila do Amaral’s painting Abaporu and the pun “Tupí or not tupí.” Oswald de Andrade (“OHZ-vald jee ahn-DRAH-jee”) led a movement named for this practice in Brazil.
