Epistemologies of Presence, theorexperience

women’s production on Cultural Performances

Resumo

This paper reviews women’s theoretical production in the field of Cultural Performances, evincing that these scholars themselves have still not sufficiently referred to other women theorists’ epistemologies. In this context, the work demonstrates how important it is for women scholars to make theory from other epistemological standpoints which include both their corporeality as researchers and the corporeality of knowledge in their studies. Being theoretical writing a form of performative writing, as a conclusion the paper considers this writing as founded on the shift of hegemonic writing codes in which academic research and practice, theory and everyday life experience work together.
