Resumo: | In this essay we address racism, police violence and the recent political protests in the United States methodologically supported by the field of performance studies, that is, thinking of them as performatic events. Under this key, we analyze the murder of George Floyd and the protests that emerged in response to his death, thought here through the concept of uprising, and the gesture that with remarkable frequency was repeated by several demonstrators: the kneeling. The gesture, in this case, is the intensely performatic moment where a body exposes and creates itself and another possible sensible space, even if ephemeral, and which links each protester to a whole lineage of activists who fought and are still fighting for the end of the replay of the macabre script of racial violence. |

Bajo esta clave, analizamos el asesinato de George Floyd y las protestas que surgieron en respuesta a su muerte, aquí concebida con base en el concepto de sublevación, y un gesto que fue repetido con notable frecuencia por varios manifestantes: el de arrodillarse. El gesto, en este caso, es el momento intensamente performativo donde un cuerpo se expone y se crea a sí mismo y a otro posible espacio sensible, aunque sea efímero, y que vincula a cada manifestante con todo un linaje de activistas que lucharon y siguen luchando por el fin. la repetición del macabro guión de la violencia racial.Como ponto de partida deste trabalho abordamos o racismo, a violência policial e protestos políticos nos Estados Unidos como eventos performáticos, ou seja, como comportamentos restaurados. Sob esta chave, analisamos o assassinato de George Floyd e os protestos que emergiram em resposta à sua morte, onde com notável frequência um gesto era repetido por diversos manifestantes: o de se ajoelhar. O gesto, neste caso, é o momento intensamente performático onde um corpo se expõe e cria a si mesmo e um outro espaço sensível possível, mesmo que efêmero, e que liga cada manifestante a toda uma linhagem de ativistas que lutaram e ainda lutam pelo fim da repetição do roteiro macabro da violência racial.PEPG COS-PUC-SP2021-12-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/galaxia/article/view/53738Galaxia; No. 46 (2021)GALÁxIA.

In this essay we address racism, police violence and the recent political protests in the United States methodologically supported by the field of performance studies, that is, thinking of them as performatic events. Under this key, we analyze the murder of George Floyd and the protests that emerged in response to his death, thought here through the concept of uprising, and the gesture that with remarkable frequency was repeated by several demonstrators: the kneeling. The gesture, in this case, is the intensely performatic moment where a body exposes and creates itself and another possible sensible space, even if ephemeral, and which links each protester to a whole lineage of activists who fought and are still fighting for the end of the replay of the macabre script of racial violence. |
