En este trabajo me centraré en la perfomance teatral Afrolatinoamericanas..., realizada en el Museo de la Mujer de Buenos Aires a finales del año 2010 por un grupo de teatro dedicado a la tematización de la afrodescendencia en la Argentina, un país que hasta hoy día sigue considerándose blanco-europeo y que sostiene que la población de descendientes de esclavizados/as africanos/as ha desaparecido. El análisis de la puesta en escena de dicha obra, en conjunto con el de fuentes históricas, permitirá establecer ciertas relaciones de continuidad entre las situaciones de exposición, objetivación y estereotipación surgidas en Europa y algunos de los lineamientos en que se fueron sustentando las representaciones raciales/sexuales para las mujeres socialmente negras en la Argentina. Haciendo hincapié en la reutilización y crítica producida en la performance de estos elementos propondré repensar a esta intervención artístico-política de autorepresentación como una plataforma privilegiada para su desafío.
In this paper I will focus on the theatrical performance Afrolatinoamericanas... held in the Women's Museum of Buenos Aires in 2010 by a theater group that focuses on the visibilization of Afro descendants in Argentina, a nation that continues to define itself as white-European and specifies that the population of descendants of enslaved people of African origin have disappeared. The analysis of the staging of that performance, together with some historical sources, will help me establish continuity relations between exposure situations, objectification and stereotyping emerged in Europe and some of the guidelines that were sustaining the racialized/sexualized representations for black women in Argentina. Emphasizing the critical reutilization of some of these elements, I will propose to rethink this artistic-political intervention of self-representation as a privileged platform for challenging stereotypes.
