DESTERRITORIALIZAÇÃO ENRAIZADA: EXPERIÊNCIAS DE CRIAÇÃO ARTÍSTICA NAS FRONTEIRAS DA ARGENTINA E DO BRASIL

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to analyze creative processes in dance that are based on aesthetic matrices and afroamerican roots in Argentina and Brazil, specifically in Humahuaca, Jujuy and Salvador de Bahia. Based on methodological procedures that are close to the practiceperformative, I will enter into cultural manifestations that are understood as performances. Specifically, I work in the context of the Huamhuaca Carnival, performing a description and analysis of Andean and Afro-American cosmoperception, specifically Bantu, from the idea of Pacha and in relation to the notion of time-space analyzed from the Bantu-Kongo cosmogram. I re-dance my practice in this paper, as a dancer-educator-capoerista of Andean and Afro- Brazilian dances and I question the institutionalized forms of so-called folkloric dances, intending archives from the repertoires of current bodies. The work seeks to destabilize Cartesian forms of research, creation and production in dance, highlighting racism and sexism in the historical construction of dances that established ways of being, disciplining bodies and creating imaginary identities. One of the ideas that runs through this work is that it is possible to destabilize archives and rethink corporal repertoires based on the new dance possibilities that emerge at parties, in collective forms of organizing to dance, and in the productions and creations in artistic communities.
