Starting from a diagnosis of the crisis of the philosophical institution regarding the literary, as it presents itself in the Brazilian experience, particularly in São Paulo, we propose to rethink the agency of literary enunciation in its links and frictions with philosophy, by approaching more closely the historicity of the nexus between body, image and concept. For that, the inscription of the heterotopic and cinematic body in Herberto Helder's poems would open a way of dialogue with Marco Antônio Valentim's reflection on the Indigenous-Kopenawan "concept of the concept", utupë. From this dialogue, we want to contribute to the current debate about the crisis in democracy and in mediation of public sphere, whose modern formulation was based, precisely, on that distinction, now in crisis, between philosophy and literature, between languages of intra-world argumentation and world-opening languages.

This paper intends to analyse, based on the theoretical perspective of the Discourse Analysis in France, the discourse on the Indigenous and African languages in the Museu da Língua Portuguesa (Museum of the Portuguese Language) - aninstitution in São Paulo (Brazil) which is being rebuilt due to a fire occurred in december 2015. Using the concepts of scene of enunciation and ethos, the analysis focuses on the texts exhibited in the space Palavras Cruzadas (Crossword) on these languages. The paper argues that, by restricting the Indigenous and African languages to a certain "influence" in the lexicon, the museum takes a position on the linguistic identity of Brazil which recognizes the originality of the Portuguese language and, above all, its unity.
