SUMMARY:

A person, whatever the person, is a piece of time within a larger story. Therefore, existential questions are inexhaustible, they are repeated and they are not the same, because when the questioner changes, new demands, perspectives, needs and understandings emerge. This text brings with it, from the title, existential problems that are, effectively, very old questions and, when renewed, they affirm the importance of constant and reflective retakes about humanity within social spaces. In this case, it is relevant to highlight that the discursive spaces are disputed, and by metaphor, they are bloody disputes, in view of their violence. Consequently, there is the chronic epistemicide of populations that are minorized in power relations. In this thesis, the concept of humanity is questioned, based on chronic dehumanization. It is not intended to promote questions about the relevance or etymology of the term, but rather to advance towards the genocidal operators and animalizers of contemporaneity. It is up to this work to debate the present, without leaving aside the myths of the future, understanding what is to come as narrative disputes. My hypothesis is that black posthumanity is a concept in transit, and, for this reason, in constant incompleteness, which confronts social decay, that is, what is understood as humanity within post-modern society. In order to organize and present some perspectives on black post-humanity, we will study and analyze the contemporary scenario of ethnic and gender relations, based on bodies, narratives and black art, as operators of a reality that overflows limits, insurgent and claiming. For this, some of Linn da Quebrada's musical-artistic works and some stories by Ruth Ducaso from her book Contos Ordinarios de Melancholia will be brought to the discussion. Linn da Quebrada's artistic work stands out for its incisive discursive and performative placement on the rights of people outside the limits of cis-hetero-normativity and on the physical and subjective violence of people constantly deprived of humanity by various institutions of power. While Ruth Ducaso's writings intend to investigate how mothers, black and from the countryside, are deprived of their humanities in favor of a place of superheroine and super-oppressed mother, of those who do not need to feel, as they are essentially ready to be womencaregivers and self-abdicated. It is considered relevant, the reflections on the struggles against racism of many authors. They are of fundamental relevance to these discussions, among them; ANGELA DAVIS (1995); FLORENTINA SOUZA (2003); LÉLIA GONZALEZ (2003). Just like, STUART HALL (2003), FANON (1983), GILROY (2001; 2005), FREITAS (2017) on political and social issues in the Afro-Diaspora. Thus, as the discussions by MEGG RAYARA (2017) and DODI LEAL (2019), JAQUELINE SANTOS (2018) contribute to confronting issues of gender and race identity.
