As poéticas pretas como espaços de resistência, cultura e ativismo político

Abstract

The aim of this work is to propose discussions about black poetics seen in these reflections as spaces that foster resistance, as a propelling source of culture and as restorative powers for the implementation of a discussion from a writing committed to its time, with its diversity and thematic pluralities. Black poetics, increasingly, have been established as potentialities that reveal the places that black corporeities have assumed socially. In the Afrocentric literary production produced in the Americas and in Brazil (and here I could also propose the terms Afrodescendant, Afro-Brazilian, Amefrican, Black-Brazilian, without entering into possible ideological discussions of each use), black writers make their texts instruments to deal with questions that are important to them, that allow them to establish guidelines which prioritize issues such as affectivity, their subjectivities and, mainly, their ideological visions of the world and of their equals in the time and the space in which they inhabit. In this sense, for these reflections, I am interested in dialoguing with the epistemological notions of “life experience writing”, widely discussed in the work of Conceição Evaristo, “spiral time”, theoretical proposition by Leda Maria Martins, and performativity.
