(Re)vivendo amores pretos: mapeamento dos afetos nas danças d’quebradas contemporâneas

Abstract

This research refers to the study of black affective processes in the dramaturgical and methodological constructions of some dissident black artists from São Paulo and Salvador, in dialogue with the productions of the author of this writing. The understanding that affection, love and identity are crossed by the intersection of racial issues and sexuality will be developed. The structuring of a methodology called Mapping of Affects is presented, which proposes the creation of a collective map written on the body (MARTINS, 2003) as an enhancer in creative processes. The work also discusses the Contemporary D'quebrada Dance scene in these highlighted regions, based on interviews with four black and gay artists who work in these areas, improvisation as a creation technology, self-writing and survival strategy (DIAS, 2021) and the importance of personal stories as the creation of new epistemes (EVARISTO,2020). Within the theoretical framework, I highlight the books A Dança da Indignação (MARTINS; MOURA; REIS, 2015) by Cia. Sansacroma; The Spirit of Intimacy (SOMÉ, 2003); the text A Escrivivência and its subtexts (EVARISTO, 2020); Performance of spiraling time (MARTINS, 2022); Structural racism (ALMEIDA, 2019); Quilombismo (NASCIMENTO; 2019) and Beatriz Nascimento: Intellectual Quilombola (NASCIMENTO, 2018). This research is expected to structure the Mapping of Affections based on the intersections of interviewees, authors and this dissident collective that permeates the entire production. Furthermore, we aim for a direction for the construction of Quilombos of Affection, with the aim of contributing to the discussion about black bodies in networks of affection as a strategy for survival and new experiences.
