ABSTRACT
The article discusses the formation of an Anthropophagy Club in Pará taking as sources the magazine Revista de Antropofagia and the newspaper O Estado do Pará. According to the magazine, there was an explicit intention to expand the anthropophagic movement to other regions of the country through the creation of regional and local autonomous clubs. The Amazon, considered by the modernists a kind of mythical repository of the nation, would have a prominent place in these discussions, and Pará was in evidence for being the origin of artists, intellectuals, and literati who published both in modernist magazines in Belém and in the Revista de Antropofagia. The publications of Eneida de Moraes will be highlighted because she was the only woman to transit between these two realities, being the person who most discussed the anthropophagic concepts in the Pará newspaper, probably contributing to the construction of the concept of “pindorama matriarchy”.
