“... As negras estão chegando pra incomodar”: poesias de mulheres negras que recitam em saraus da periferia soteropolitana

Abstract

This research was dedicated to the study of the poetic productions of black women who recite in the surroundings of Salvador to understand their dialogues with Brazilian Black Feminist Thought, based on the theory of Intersectionality and as gender categories of analysis, race and social class. Fifty-two poemas from fourteen poets who accepted to participate in the research. Through Critical Discourse Analysis, as an instrument of analysis, the poems that compose the corpus of this work were carefully examined and later grouped into three major thematic axes: identity; resistance and denunciation. The identity of the theme was concerned with the denial of universalizing representations based on whitening and concealment discourses of the racial dimension. The theme of resistance sought to construct a destabilizing discourse of collective dimension. And finally, the subject of the complaint indicated the ineffectiveness and negligence of the State to the demands of the popular communities. This study shows that there is a strong relationship between the NPF and the analyzed poetry, since both promote resistance to racism, sexism and social class hierarchy and contribute to the formulation of eminently political discourses and intervention in society.
