Performance, artivismo e marcadores de diferenças: processos de aprendizagens sobre o gênero, raça e classe com o grupo Tambores de Safo

Abstract

The current thesis aproaches the discussions of gender, class and race through the extension of the concept of performance as a ritual, race, art and pedagogical learning to think about differences experienced by the feminist group Tambores de Safo – TS, from the city of Fortaleza. This group, and the stories of womens´s resistance that are part of it, bring specificities, once that their music, meetings, spectacles, gatherings around many discriminations that members of TS have already suffered and suffer in society because being women, black, lesbians, bissexual and suburbans. For that, I seek the methodological analysis of the Feminist Anthropology and the Anthropology of Performance in the search for a thinking about the differences in the colective of the drummers. I bring the experience of the TC in three levels of analysis: from Turner (1974), as a ritual, going through Fabião (2009) to think about performance as an art, until Butler (2009) and Preciado (2008) to get in the matter of gender. These studies are followed, through the construction of the trajectory of the TS group and what I could experience with them, which opens space to the matters of gender, class and race, taking, to the realm of investigation, the discussions about the colective in regard these analysis. This way, I intend to do the ethnography, enriched with analisis of biographic and autobiographic narratives as theoric support and methodological aspects, of the feminist drummer members, bringing to the comprehension their resistence from their practices of gender, just as long as their ways of life that construct learnings towards to the differences through performances of life that they live and from what I could learn by them.
