| description | The present study analyzes historical and social issues present in the process of constructing race as a classifying term as well as the consequences of a racist ideology in Brazilian dramaturgy. The racial classification produced, especially, by naturalistic scientists supported a series of paradigmatic representations present in stage during the 19th and 20th century. The text proposes a critical reflection on these stereotypes and questions the hegemonic theoretical perspective within Brazilian theatre studies and practice to provoke a revision of the ways how black characters are put in paper and stage in Brazilian theatre. |
