<i>Subjects of speech: contemporary dramaturgy, Black authors, and writing as domination (or emancipation?)</i>

Abstract

This study seeks to weave the idea of Black dramaturgy from a contemporary (Black its historicity) and Brazilian (territorial and by the experience of these bodies as such) perspective, covering instances such as authorship, themes, forms, the public to which the texts are intended, and the writing strategies of each author, critically reflecting on the symptoms of anti- Black structural racism regarding access and the possibility of theatrical writing being a possible area for Black bodies. I mainly bring the voices of Leda Martins, Evani Lima, Eduardo Duarte, and Silvio Almeida to then carry out a literature review and reflective analysis on the practice of contemporary Black playwrights under the light of concepts such as oralitura, escrevivencia, and crossroads.
