Palavras-chave:

Slam. Cantoria. Performance. Comparative literature. Body.

Resumo

This article aims to compare two oral poetic genres, cantoria and slam, from the perspective of performance art, exploring their similarities and differences. Based on performance art studies and scholarly works on the two genres, viewed as poetics constituted as a technique, the authors consider the body's use as a technical object (Mauss, 2003). The importance of improvisation in cantoria and the unprecedented feature of slam are emphasized, while the goal is to highlight the scenic character of the two poetic acts marked by speed and forcefulness in the game. The text verifies the analogy drawn between the two genres based on the scenic character of their performance.
