(Sou)pa de pedras: o ritual performático e a ancestralidade a partir das poéticas e pedagogias de si

Abstract

This research identifies, analyzes and experiences the performative, ritualistic and symbolic aspects in (Sou)pa of stones as a strategy of political, social and cultural revindication through a poetic construction of the self. Based on the biographical experiences of my matriarchs that reverberate in my personal trajectory, as well as in the ancestral collective unconscious of each woman, I discuss social stoning. In a critical and reflexive way, I reconstitute an investigative timeline from a cartographic plan of memories to the survey of experiences that have as their basis the transmutation of the secular pain of the feminine soul and the myths that are repeated from them. In rescuing the sacred symbolisms of my ancestral femininity, I come across the pot, as a cauldron of feelings, dreams, and ideals interrupted and deprived because of the patriarchal northeastern supremacy in which the women in my family and I are inserted. From this perspective, this study establishes a territorial view on the resistance of existing. And, in order to reconstruct paths and possibilities, I find myself with another symbol of power that since our ancestors were used to mark "places of power": stones. The result is a great (Sou)pa of stones, a performative ritual, named thus to lighten the emergence of an artistic, spiritual and poetic food that has the intention to nourish and reestablish our relationship with the faces of the great Goddess. At the end of the work I write a letter to Maria Madalena and I meet the other side of the veil. To conclude, I appropriate the concept of photoperformance, and from it I can re-signify the ritual of (Sou)pa de Pedras. Thus, through this research I seek to rescue the perception, displacement and projection of consciousness at a deep and sensitive level, a level in which rituals are inserted.
