UTERUSDRAMA: DECOLONIZING BODY AND MENSTRUATION

Abstract

The study starts from the following issue question: does the reconnection between people and their uterine organ ease self-knowledge and the development of spontaneity-creativity? This problem requires the comprehension of what moment of Western history, the uterus became a locus of disease and prejudice; and, from a social-psychodramatic analysis, understanding the consequences of this hegemonic narrative in the Brazilian current political-cultural reality. For being historical sorrows that block our spontaneitycreativity, we name it of colonial conservatism. This is qualitative and psychodramatic research, with the study of cases presenting the suffering of consultants caused by the disconnection with their uterine organ. We used a specific approach, called uterodrama, which facilitated the development of consultants’ spontaneity and creativity as they experienced the reapproximation with their uterus
