Dossiê Temático: Ações feministas/corpas decoloniais: cenários do sul

Thematic Dossier: Feminist actions/decolonial bodies: settings from the South 

For this Thematic Dossier, Urdimento – Revista de Estudos em Artes Cênicas (Magazine of Scenic Arts Studies) – will receive articles until: June 30, 2024. These articles shall form the magazine Urdimento, v.3, n. 52, September 2024. 

The thematic dossier “Feminist actions/decolonial bodies: settings from the South” invites artists and/or researchers from the aesthetics, politics, and social fields examining historical processes and decolonial-artistic strategies in Latin America, who reflect about contemporary art in its political, social, and emotional articulations, questioning the categories of recognition and social intelligibility that determine and exclude certain bodies. The production of systemic territories of debasement in the last decades have provoked important reactions in the arts and in the social/political fields, promoting spaces for identity struggles against the neoliberal and neo-colonial violence and rationality. We are interested in thinking about the arts of the South as critical instrument in an intersectional approach that is opposed to historical forces of de-historization responsible for immortalizing biopolitical structures of exploration. What is the purpose of social intelligibility devices? How to confront and disarticulate this “narcissistic pact of whiteness” that flows around the bodies?

Therefore, this thematic dossier proposes the publication of articles, interviews, experience reports, critical reviews, translations, and videos of auditive and visual performative manifestations bringing research from artists, critics, historians, Latin-American scenic arts theorists, researchers from the fields of sociology, anthropology and psychoanalysis that are involved in the construction of new knowledges and practices that challenge the dominating instrumentalized thought.

Thus, the contemplated research will be dealing with themes connected to the arts and the contemporary scene in the South, to feminist studies, to the queer theory, to gender and race studies that bet in the interdisciplinarity and performativity to think about the decolonial bodies.

All articles sent will be evaluated through the double-blind system (peer review); and the publication will depend on its approval by two ad hoc reviewers.

The Editorial Board proposing this Thematic Dossier is composed of the Professor Doctors: Martha de Mello Ribeiro (coordinator), Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF); Ileana Diéguez Caballero, Universidade Autônoma Metropolitana, Cuajimalpa, México (UAM); Berenice Bento, Universidade de Brasília (UNB); Gabriela Lírio, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ); Janaína Leite, Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Tiago de Brito Cruvinel, Instituto Federal Minas Gerais (IFMG).
