Forasteiras de dentro: corposcrevências de mulheres negras no Hip-Hop dança, sob a lente interseccional

Abstract

This thesis aims to discuss intersectionality as a praxis, with social action as a mode of knowledge, based on qualitative, exploratory, ethnographic and writable research. The work has two movements that complement each other in its methodology: the first, with urban ethnographic inspiration that relies on data generated throughout the years 2023 and 2024, from the circulation in the leisure context of four black Hip-Hop dancers from the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais; a second movement arose from the writableness of these women, which reverberated in the articulation between thought, writing and dance, which we announce in the research as corporescribence. The theoretical basis was woven in an interdisciplinary manner, based on Patricia Hill Collins with the relationship between black feminist thought, intersectionality and Hip-Hop, Christianne Luce Gomes conceptualizing leisure as a human need in the dimension of culture, Nilma Lino Gomes with aesthetic-corporeal knowledge, the Black Educator Movement and the emancipated body, Paulo Freire bringing the conscious body and the relationship between humanization and dehumanization and, finally, bell hooks with the issue of self-recovery of black women and the place of affections in the relations of knowledge production. The analyses revealed that black women are crossed by issues of race, gender, class and sexuality, which produce qualitatively differentiated experiences in the field of leisure. In contrast, they produce resistance through multiple literacies, organizations that are their own and through their body-territories, which reverberate in a territory of affections that sustain them for the fabrication of other, possible futures, in intersectional leisure.
