Discurso, literatura e resistência: uma análise foucaultiana de escritas de si da poeta negra baiana Júlia Suzarte

Abstract

This paper analyzes the poems of the black writer Júlia Suzarte, through her posts on Facebook, Instagram and writings in the book No meu quintal, as a discursive practice of resistance, from which we can make the diagnosis of the present. This research has, as a general objective, to analyze the discourse of the black poet and her modes of subjectivation when producing literature, crossed by the media universe, focusing the discussion on the texts posted on her social networks, from 2015 to 2020, and also those published in the book No meu quintal, in 2019. We also have, as specific objectives, to describe the literary collection of the poet, her way of self-writing, characterizing the process of constitution of the self-writing and its conditions of emergence; identifying the utterances, describing their functioning and the discursive regularities present in the literary productions of the black woman poet. We have inquired what is the place occupied by the poetics of this writer, thinking literature as a place of constitution of subjects and taking into account the aesthetic experiences of the northeastern black woman today, deploying the archaeogenealogical method, which points to a complementarity of archaeology with genealogy, as defined by Foucault (2016, 2018b). The analysis of the corpus took place in three moments: 1) description of seven poems drawn from the book published by the writer, with attention to the utterances produced and the regularities found; 2) discussion of five posts with photos from Facebook and five from Instagram (in addition to other fourteen posts analysed throughout the text), which were selected by the most frequent themes and discursive elements, with attention to the bodies that appear, observing the hair, the way of presenting oneself, the expressions of the face, the spaces, the colours; 3) analysis of two videos published on Facebook, one from 2018, with a strong political approach, and another from 2020, with reflections on learning opportunized by social isolation, caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Besides the discursive regularities, we observed the existing differences, the spaces, the theme, the presentation of the bodies. As results, we identify, in this study, that the discourse of this writer occupies a place of resistance to disciplinary practices - which allows her self-insertion in the world that tries to put her in a place of invisibility, as a subordinating subject who cannot speak. The literature treated here is a historical-discursive practice of constitution of this subject, making possible the diagnosis of the present (FOUCAULT, 2014b), from the self-writing (FOUCAULT, 2017) and from escrevivência (EVARISTO, 2020a).
