This article develops an analysis of decolonial and performativity corpographic practices based on the enunciation of individual and collective identities of swingueira. The analysis of the documentary Swingueira (2020) allows us to investigate the contestation and inscription strategies of insurgent bodies, who start to experience music and dance from escapism strategies that occur at the edges of popular culture and imaginaries of national and authentic authenticity. regional. The objective is to interrelate images and narrativities present in the construction of these bodily identities from categories such as territoriality, trauma and escape. The results allow us to understand how swingueira intends, beyond an artistic movement, the self-inscription of experiences, violence and disputes in dissident bodies that contest the colonial and racialized representation regime.
