Primeiro continuamos, depois começamos: o que pode um corpo mestiço?

Abstract

This work, which is part of the Historical and Cultural Contexts of Clinical Psychology line of research, addresses genealogical aspects and modes of interaction of Clinical Psychology with different areas of culture and society, aiming to contribute to studies that invest Clinical Psychology as a transforming agent. Through a cartographic research process, this work seeks to articulate two investigative movements. The first consists of a bibliographical review about the problem of the so-called “miscegenation” in Brazil, especially the place of the so-called “mestizos” and “pardos” and their approach to whitening, as well as racial ambiguity and how it highlights erasures and alienations. In this first movement supported by authors such as Lélia Gonzalez, Suely Rolnik, Gloria Anzaldua, Eduardo Oliveira de Oliveira and Denise Ferreira da Silva, among others, we seek to elaborate the effects of the diasporic experience on racialized bodies and how this requires a repositioning of epistemologies and dominant forms of knowledge. The second movement starts from black expressivities as countercultures of modernity and seeks, in dialogue with authors such as Edouard Glissant, Leda Maria Martins and Toni Morrison, fictional memory strategies that can contribute to reconfigure and fable historical narratives, positioning them as forces of annunciation. It seeks to think how the artistic practice in its micropolitical and clinical strategy can lead to oracular spaces of solidarity and listening, in addition to other possibilities of narration, and the transmission not only of the suffering that these narrated images carry, but also seek its dissolution. This work was carried out with the support of Fundação São Paulo – FUNDASP - São Paulo, Brazil
