AGUAS, Carla Ladeira Pimentel. Destabilized tragedy: Spaces of memory and transgression in the Congo dance from Nossa Senhora do Livramento. Cadernos de Estudos Africanos [online]. 2013, n.25, pp.161-182. ISSN 1645-3794.
This article analyzes the meaning of the Congo dance from Nossa Senhora do Livramento, located in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil. From a postcolonial perspective, it explores the possibilities of the dance producing and reproducing resistance discourses, destabilizing structures both social and symbolic. Characterized as an “epistemology of the South”, the poetics of the Congo dance is treated as an example of memories and narratives against the hegemonic forces of modernity.
Palavras-chave : Congo dance; epistemologies of the South; festival; memory; counter-hegemony; postcolonialism.
