Um corpo cavalgado: a pombagira como mito-guia na criação performática. 2020. 209f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Artes Cênicas) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2020.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/29497e work investigated the Afro-Brazilian myth Pombagira from the perspective of guide-myth (LYRA, 2013), experienced bodily from the creation of a series of performances uncovered by Mitologia em Arte (Mythodology in Art) (LYRA, 2013). Mitodologia em Arte proposes a path of procedures in the restoration of image and myth as devices of self-recognition. In the experience of performing the Pombagira, the derogatory term of “mulata” ends up being stretched, working on a broader scope of female gures that are sexually objecti ed and departing from a historical context of discrimination due to their African matrices. Being a black woman, the author-researcher of this project, who embodies the gure of the Pombagira, I wish to raise questions on societal racism or structural racism in Brazil and on black feminism, seeking to elaborate these issues in the performing arts. In convergence with the material of Mitologia em Arte, by Lyra (2013), this work also seeks to dialogue with the concepts of Encruzilhada (Crossroads), Pedagogia das Encruzilhadas (Pedagogy of the Crossroads), by Luiz Ru no (2019), the myth of the Pombagira, by Andréa Lage (2004), Stefania Capone (2003), Reginaldo Prandi (1996), Racism, by Grada Kilomba (2019), Intersectionality, by Angela Davis (1981), and of performance art, by Renato Cohen (2002).Acesso AbertoPombagiraMito-guiaMitodologia em arteFeminismo negroTeatro ritualmasterThesisCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::ARTES
