Diálogos em resistência: o tecido circense e o quilombo urbano Barranco de São Benedito

Abstract

The present work is a tessitura of affectations that permeated (and still permeates) a research process focused on the circus tissue and a series of pedagogical actions that culminated in experiences with the children who are part of the sixth generation of residents of Quilombo Urbano Barranco de São Benedito, in the neighborhood of Plaza 14 de Janeiro, in the city of Manaus, Amazonas. In this process, I, Leonardo Scantbelruy, teacher-artist¹, will reflect on memories and affections that shaped my teaching trajectory, through experiences that affected my methodological practice in its various possibilities of acting in academia. Experiences, memories, paths, struggle and resistance that I found as artist, teacher, trainee, researcher, monitor and how affectations of this practice provoked other affectations such as those of the quilombola community Barranco de São Benedito, in Praça 14, Manaus.
