Expedient

Abstract

The poetics of the voices in their multiple embodiments - singing, sudden aboios, cocos, cordéis, emboladas, rap and what most wins the world for performances, oralities and writings - exist and resist in our territories over time, whether as part of from the trails of our bodies in the wheels where we found ourselves in prose (and which we hope to live like this again), whether walking more than fast through the invisible networks, but already so present, the screens of cell phones, computers... And what it was born in the heat of affection and won salons, classrooms, schools, universities, being, at the same time, media, poetry, speech, pamphlet. We already know that it is no longer possible to talk about the death of the popular, as many have announced, but about a continuous and living reinvention of a tradition that creates, recreates and creates in an infinite lemniscate.

Issue 30 of Revista Boitatá proposes to deal with all of this, seeking to be a space for the dialogue of research, experiences and reflections on the multiple manifestations of the voices' poetics. We seek to receive articles that address the potential of these poetics and their different languages in different means of production, as well as inserted in formal and informal educational contexts. Welcoming multiple and interdisciplinary proposals, the axis that will unite the texts will be the reverberation of these poetic voices. We also hope to discuss the epistemic and methodological dimensions related to the poetics of voices, disseminated and taught in schools, universities and other educational spaces, from perspectives critical of sexism, racism, elitism, Eurocentrism and colonialism. Research on popular poetics, oral and indigenous epistemologies, memory valuing experiences and oral history in the context of public history, as well as intersectional and decolonial feminist approaches, will be welcome.
