Oniropolítica como articulação do desejo: a tenda do sonho no Centro de Convivência e Cultura de Natal/RN

Abstract

Dreams are legitimate psychic acts that play an important role in different cultures and social formations. Their creation and collective sharing act as an excellent social seismograph that bears witness not only to the dreamer, but to their entire political and cultural environment. Despite this, dreams are not given their due status in the post-industrial city, being relegated to a place of oblivion and contempt. The emptiness of experience, characteristic of modernity, affects the field of dreams. In view of this, the aim of this research is to investigate the powers of the collective sharing of dreams in the production of health, the creation of life and practices of resistance to the capitalist order. To this end, the methodological device of the Tent of Dreams was developed, which found fertile ground for its flourishing at the Center for Coexistence and Culture (CECCO) in Natal/RN. As a result, a path was traversed through the scenes of the research field, along with their proper presentation, images, dream narratives and discussions based on the epistemological territory of reference.
