Cette dissertation traite la danse comme une catégorie d’analyse permettant de réorienter ou de ré-chorégraphier les théories postcoloniales du corps. Mon étude montre qu’ Edward Said, par exemple, décrit la danse seulement à travers le regard impérial, et que Homi Bhabha et Gayatri Spivak négligent complètement le rôle de la dance dans la construction de la subjectivité postcoloniale. Mon étude explique que Stavros Karayanni récemment explore la danse masculine et féminine comme espaces de résistance contre la domination coloniale. Toutefois, l’analyse de Karayanni met l’accent seulement sur le caractère insaisissable de la danse qui produit une ambigüité et une ambivalence dans le regard du sujet impériale. Contrairement aux approches de Said et de Karayanni, ma dissertation explore la danse comme un espace ou le corps du sujet colonisé chorégraphie son histoire collective que l’amnésie coloniale ne cesse de défigurer au moyen de l’acculturation et de marchandisation. Je soutiens que la danse nous offre la possibilité de concevoir le corps colonisé non seulement dans son ambiguïté, comme le souligne Karayanni, mais aussi dans son potentiel de raconter corporellement sa mémoire collective de l’intérieur de la domination impériale. Ma dissertation soutient que les catégories de l’ambiguïté et de l’insaisissabilité mystifient et fétichisent le corps dansant en le décrivant comme un élément évasif et évanescent. Ma dissertation inclut plusieurs traditions culturelles de manière à réorienter la recherche ethnographique qui décrit la dance comme articulation codée par une culture postcoloniale spécifique. Mon étude montre comment le corps colonisé produit un savoir culturel à partir de sa différence. Cette forme de savoir corporelle présente le corps colonisé en tant que sujet et non seulement objet du désir colonial. Méthodologiquement, cette dissertation rassemble des théories occidentales et autochtones de la danse. Mon étude considère aussi les théories postcoloniales du corps dansant à partir des perspectives hétérosexuelles et homosexuelles. En outre, mon étude examine les manières dont les quelles les théories contemporaines de la danse, postulées par Susan Foster et André Lepecki par exemple, peuvent être pertinentes dans le contexte postcolonial. Mon étude explore également le potentiel politique de l’érotique dans la danse à travers des représentations textuelles et cinématographiques du corps. L’introduction de ma dissertation a trois objectifs. Premièrement, elle offre un aperçu sur les théories postcoloniales du corps. Deuxièmement, elle explique les manières dans lesquelles on peut appliquer des philosophies contemporaines de la danse dans le contexte postcoloniale. Troisièmement, l’introduction analyse le rôle de la dance dans les œuvres des écrivains postcoloniales célèbres tels que Frantz Fanon, Wole Soyinka, Arundhati Roy, et Wilson Harris. Le Chapitre un remet en question les théories de l’ambiguïté et de l’insaisissabilité de la danse à partir de la théorie de l’érotique postulé par Audre Lorde. Ce chapitre examine le concept de l’érotique dans le film Dunia de Jocelyne Saab. Le Chapitre deux ouvre un dialogue entre les théories occidentales et autochtones de la danse à partir d’une étude d’un roman de Tomson Highway. Le Chapitre trois examine comment l’écrivain Trinidadien Earl Lovelace utilise la danse de carnaval comme espace culturel qui reflète l’homogénéité raciale et l’idéologie nationaliste à Trinidad et en les remettant également en question. / Classical texts of postcolonial theory rarely address the embodied expression of dance as they examine the colonial body only through the imperial discourses about the Orient (Said), the construction of the Subaltern subject (Spivak), and the ambivalent desire of the colonial gaze (Bhabha). The Cyprian theorist and dancer Stavros Stavrou Karayanni has emphasised the centrality of dance as a key category of analysis through which discourses of resistance can be articulated from the perspective of the colonial heterosexual and queer body. However, Karayanni adopts the psychoanalytic method according to which the dancing body of the colonised subject has an ambivalent effect upon the Western traveller and / or coloniser who both desires and derides this body. In contrast to this approach, my study examines dance as a space in which the colonial body choreographs its collective history which colonial amnesia suppresses so as to de-historicise colonised subjects and disfigure their cultures. Departing from Frantz Fanon’s emphasis on the relevance of dance in colonial studies, I argue that the colonial body choreographs its collective memories in dance and prompts us to rethink hegemonic discourses of postcolonial identity formation that revolve around ambivalence and elusiveness. I borrow the notion of “choreographing history” from the Western contemporary discipline of dance studies which has integrated cultural studies since mid 1980s and influenced postcolonial inquiry of dance over the last decade. I include various cultural traditions in my project so as to re-direct today’s predominantly ethnographic research which describes dance as an encoded articulation of culture in specific postcolonial societies. I also include different cultural traditions to show that while choreographing silenced memories in various historical experiences of colonial violence, the dancing body allows us to construct discourses of resistance in ways that postcolonial theory has not addressed before. The re-choreography of postcolonial theories of the body, as developed in this dissertation, articulates an ethical imperative because it shows how the subaltern body not only choreographs memories that colonial amnesia silences but also produces cultural knowledge with a difference. Methodologically, this study brings together Western and indigenous theories of dance as well as postcolonial theories of the dancing body from both heterosexual and queer perspectives. My study discusses Susan Foster and André Lepecki’s contemporary theories of dance and the body in the context of postcolonial theories of Oriental dance and eroticism. It also examines the socially and politically transformative potential of the erotic in dance through textual and cinematic representations of the body. My study equally opens a dialogue between Western and indigenous theories of dance in the context of Canadian indigenous literary work of Tomson Highway. A critical examination of Trinidad Carnival and Calypso in a novel by Earl Lovelace demonstrates that dance is a central paradigm of analysis for a postcolonial critique of the body and the categories of identity that inscribe it.

It is centered, afterwards, in the Brazilian context, when dealing with the theatrical workmanship by Nelson Rodrigues, playwright that innovated the scenic language and restored modernity in the national theater, a time that, before this, the stages in our country only appropriated of comedies or foreign texts. By means of the inquiry and of the analysis, this research aims at to develop a critical study of Album of family (play written by related author, in 1945), with the objective to bring specific aspects of the dramatic action of the mentioned theatrical text into the open, that divides itself in two narrative plans that contradict themselves. The duality and ambiguity, enrolled in the text of the play, are argued and analyzed for the point of view of certain universal subjects (adultery, incest, violence, homosexuality, prostitution, preconception, maleness and paedophilia), considered taboos for the more conservatives and ranks in prominence by means of literary procedures over all the carnival theory and the parody , with which the author intends to show the chaos that afflicts the contemporary society and the man. Such procedures disclose a peculiar universe, where institutions, as the family and the Church, have its functions put in check for social and human blemishes. Moreover, by means of the criticism to the society and the family, Nelson Rodrigues looks for to distort myths, subjects and ideologies that serve of ground to the classic theater and to the bourgeois society too, at the same time where he dialogues with other theatrical manifestations, imposing himself thus, as the creator of an authentic Brazilian tragedy, in agreement with the carnival theory and the parody and, above all, morality / O presente trabalho estuda o gênero dramático, desde suas origens, as encenações ritualísticas dos antigos, até as principais manifestações teatrais da contemporaneidade. Centra-se, a seguir, no contexto brasileiro, ao tratar da obra teatral de Nelson Rodrigues, dramaturgo que inovou a linguagem cênica e instaurou a modernidade no teatro nacional, uma vez que, antes disso, as encenações em nosso país se apropriavam somente de comédias ou de textos estrangeiros. Por meio da investigação e da análise, esta pesquisa visa a desenvolver um estudo crítico de Álbum de família (peça escrita pelo referido autor, em 1945), com o objetivo de lançar luz sobre aspectos específicos da ação dramática do mencionado texto teatral, que se divide em dois planos narrativos que se contradizem. A dualidade e ambigüidade, inscritas no texto da peça, são discutidas e analisadas do ponto de vista de certos temas universais (adultério, incesto, violência, homossexualismo, prostituição, preconceito, machismo e pedofilia), considerados tabus pelos mais conservadores e postos em destaque por meio de procedimentos literários sobretudo a carnavalização e a paródia , com os quais o autor pretende desnudar o caos que aflige a sociedade e o homem contemporâneos. Tais procedimentos revelam um universo peculiar, em que instituições, como a família e a Igreja, têm suas funções postas em xeque pelas mazelas sociais e humanas. Além disto, por meio da crítica à sociedade e à família, Nelson Rodrigues procura desconstruir mitos, temas e ideologias que servem de fundamento ao teatro clássico e também à sociedade burguesa, ao mesmo tempo em que dialoga com outras manifestações teatrais, impondo-se, assim, como o criador de uma autêntica tragédia brasileira, carnavalizada, paródica e, acima de tudo, moralizante

In the oral narrative registers (interviews and songs) will be identified questions about the fights involved in the carnival production and in the social actions developed by the street bands. By historicizing these questions, i want to problematize how the practices involving the musical know-how of the afro-descendant individuals refer to the afro belonging tradition and culture and how this experiences create, recreate and resignificate afro-dispersion territorialities in the city of Salvador / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir temas que envolvem práticas e sociabilidades musicais dos blocos afro do Subúrbio Ferroviário de Salvador nas últimas décadas do século XX (1970/2000). Nos registros de narrativas orais (entrevistas e canções) serão identificadas questões que dizem respeito às lutas que incidem na produção do carnaval e nas ações sociais desenvolvidas pelos blocos. Ao historicizar tais questões, procuro problematizar como as práticas que abarcam o saber e o fazer musical dos indivíduos afro-descendentes se referendam nas tradições e culturas de pertencimento afro e como estas experiências criam, recriam e ressignificam territorialidades afro-diaspóricas na cidade de Salvador

Este estudo antropológico reflete sobre a construção e a reelaboração da memória coletiva acerca dos espaços de sociabilidade negra constituídos em torno do Clube Tabajara e das festas de carnaval no município de Encruzilhada do Sul – RS. Pensa-se, aqui, a festa enquanto um ritual que permite compreender as estruturas e relações sociais e, ao mesmo tempo, enquanto espaço de sociabilidade e de “trabalho” da memória do grupo. A construção dessa memória coletiva será pensada tendo-se em vista a questão étnica que tenciona as relações do grupo pesquisado com os demais grupos carnavalescos da cidade e que também o funda. / This anthropological study focuses on the construction and reworking of the collective memory of spaces of Afro-Brazilian sociability which have been centred around the Tabajara Club and the carnival festivities in the town of Encruzilhada do Sul, located in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. In this analysis, it is proposed that carnival celebrations are rituals that allow us to understand social structures and relations and, at the same time, are areas of sociability and "working" group memory. The construction of collective memory will be addressed while keeping in mind the ethnic issue that affects the relationship between this group of Afro-descendents and other carnival groups which have also founded the city of Encruzilhada do Sul.
