What’s the cattle’s thoughts?

Keywords: agropop, sertanejo, anti-aesthetic

Abstract

In the largest corral in the world, cattle and people share the same pasture, chewing cud. Between rapes and monocultures, agribusiness sings empty hymns while devouring land and memory. This brief essay-fiction dismantles the anti-aesthetic “agropop” of Brazil-exportation and asks with sharp teeth: does the bottom of the cattle throat hold thought or just feed?
