Performance do afeto: cartas de uma professora negra

Abstract

This research is configured in a field report, permeated by poetry, sounds, movement, dance and improvisation, based on the experiences and transcendences of a 29-year-old black woman who has been diving into the artistic movement of dance for 20 years, and now questions herself about being a teacher/performer who is inspired by everything and everyone. With reading the book Cartas a uma negra (2021) de Françoise Ega, e Ensaios sobre a prática desviante do Professor-Performer no cotidiano escolar (2018) de Maurício Barbosa de Lima seeking to relate the hybrid being imbued with her perceptions about pedagogical practices, reporting through letters the paths taken that lead her to discover herself as a teacher/performer. There are five cards for the past, present and future. And why cards? Because they bring you closer and reveal how important you are, I also consider a practice free of expression, where writing is closer because it is simple and objective. I emphasize that the excerpts from the logbook, the letters and the poems are in italic font to highlight the writing of the text. In this way, the work has a different configuration where the chapters are transformed into letters in which I express to the reader the reflections that I make, connecting the authors referred to as great inspirations that show me the way to be a teacher-performer.
