Ética-estética dos protestos: atores e personagens na cena política brasileira

Abstract

This thesis seeks to analyze, from a multiplicity of expressions, masks, images, performances and theatricalities that mix art, politics and artivism - or art activism - the actors and characters that appear in the political scene from 2013 to 2016. Thus new forms of participation of Brazilian civil society during the manifestations, started in the streets in several cities of Brazil, in June 2013, as well as their unfolding from 2014 and 2015. It end in the occupations of high school students in public schools, universities and, especially, the occupation of buildings of the Ministry of Culture in the 27 Brazilian states, which took place in 2016, in response to the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff earlier that year. It is a work-process that overflows and whose theme is of complexity, assuming a transnarrative trait. It is based on recorded material, in interviews and testimonies, and journalistic, photographic, audiovisual and bibliographic archive, collected in both traditional and independent ways of circulating information. For this, 6 cartographies and analyzes are composed, with a series of photographs that, among many, reveal the presence of infiltrators and the appropriation of the streets; of the reactionary and the revolutionary confronting in the dispute of narratives, and the color of their characters, their expressions and symbols, their subjectivities, their practices of aesthetic resistance.
