Dispositivo raça: cartografando os processos de subjetivação nos corpos de artistas negros

Abstract

This work sought to understand the concept of race device and its mechanisms that permeate black bodies on a daily basis, mapping processes of subjectivation of black artists' bodies. Corporeal memories, marks and historical scars, and many other processes are common for these bodies. In order to better understand the topic, we conducted a broad bibliographical survey on racial issues, blackness and different perspectives, and concepts that would elucidate what the processes of subjectivation are. The research has a qualitative focus, being developed from a cartographic study. As a methodological strategy we produced Body-Map Storytelling with two individuals who were inserted in artistic and cultural experiences. Both were used as materials for the process of research analysis. Resulting in the cartography of subjectivation processes related to experiences in the field of culture production and creating spaces of encounter between black bodies and their ancestry. We accompanied the different processes of subjectivation of these bodies when occurring in the space of culture production and exchanges related to ancestry; it was identified the different modes of resistance when recognizing itself as a black body; it was observed how black bodies meet, and how ancestry exchanges and modes of resistance occur. We embody everyday experiences from the race device. It is important that we have knowledge about our histories and ancestry, occurring encounters and exchanges with other black bodies. They are important for our subjectivation, strengthening, acceptance, existence/resistance, opening spaces for clinical, political and aesthetic powers, causing reflections about the contexts that involve the black population.
