"The Tupi of sixteenth- and seventeenth century coastal Brazil were renowned as fiercely warlike and, more sensationally, as cannibals. They were also famed for their ritual featherwork capes made from scarlet ibis feathers, which were closely associated with both war and anthropophagic rituals (see figure). For the semi-nomadic Tupi, featherwork was highly valued, the capes being among the only things that they carefully preserved and carried with them as they moved from site to site."

Según Martín Hopenhayn, la mala conciencia es “…la confesión que el individuo se hace a sí mismo de su propia esterilidad “inherenté…” (16). Tal confesión no surge de ningún proceso individual de negación de la conciencia, sino del efecto que tiene en el individuo la internalización de las normas impuestas por la cultura hegemónica. De este modo, la mala conciencia es “…la sustitución de la represión por la autorrepresión de la concencia” (16). Cuando la autorrepresión de la conciencia toma voz a través del discurso literario, se transforma en una feroz crítica al systema que la ha gestado.
