Summary: It is proposed to expand the discussions about spoken poetry competitions events
called slams, which are established as political and aesthetic spaces. In Brazil slams
were born in poor city areas. The texts presented in the slams events are discursive
productions that have grown as political practice and cultural resistance. The
slammers use the poetry competition performance as a subversive possibility for not
only identities building, but also for silences breaking, and assumption of a
historically denied space. The research corpus is defined by texts produced by das
Minas Slam and Nísia Slam young female writers that live in pheripheries areas of
São Paulo and Espirito Santo states respectively. The research supports are based
in intersectional black feminism studies from Brazilian Sueli Carneiro and the
Americans bell hooks, Patricia Hill Collins and Angela Davis. The discriminatory
systems were analyzed based on the intersectionality concept of race, gender, and
class, sustained by Lélia Gonzalez and Kimberlé Crenshaw. The study aims is a
qualitative research based on the exploratory method, because it covers
bibliographical survey, interviews, field research, and literary corpus analysis. It finds
and defends that it is socialy and literary important to enhance new epistomies talks
and to put a spot in periphery poets placed in subalternity. By poetry creation in
movements such as the slam, these woman manage to break silences and unveil
historical invisibilities. By doing so, they resignify representations and resist to
political alignment, building their identities and artictic productions based on their
ESCREVIVÊNCIAS in cultural movements such as the slam.
