Processos de interdição e censura: Povos que não podem ser de dentro

Abstract

Starting from a gesture of analysis about the interdiction of the work Povo de Dentro (People from Inside), by Douglas Leoni, from the walls of the Cultural Foundation of Brusque in September 2021, the objective of this paper is to understand how interdiction and censorship processes of artistic productions take place in the escalation of neoliberal practices that give rise to totalitarian and excluding States that deny art, education, culture and science. States that criminalize activism and artistic productions and expose class struggles that denounce the violence of this “bourgeois state”. Therefore, this paper aims to understand the ways in which the meanings of “graffiti” move through the press, through the tension between the political and the police order. To achieve this, the notions of Non-specific Art, Distribution of the Sensible and Political Discourse were mobilized, in tension with the notion of Hate Speech, using the Franco-Brazilian Discourse Analysis as a theoretical basis.
