Comicity and anti-racism

artistic and pedagogical acts for the contemporary scene

Abstract

The productions and receptions of the comicity may involve the search for the success of laughter, especially when a group shares codes and meanings in common performatized in a scene, although such context can be disseminated to other groups because of the strong presence and use of audiovisual resources and digital platforms nowadays. From this perspective, the author traces a debate about certain artistic and pedagogical creations in the universe of the Performing Arts, historically and today, against the background of the questions raised by the black movement about its ethnic- racial representation in some artistic and educational expressions, in order to raise a reflection and offer an invitation to foster and share anti-racist aesthetic experiences, in particular with regard to the cultivation and enjoyment of comedy and laughter.
