Theatre of the oppressed: A theather of the social emergences and of the collective knowlegde

Abstract

This essay introduces a proposal for intervention in Social Psychology. It integrates the knowledge and practice of Theatre of the Oppressed to the Sociology of Absences and Emergencies. It is a result of social research in which the first was the builder of dispositives while the other taken as a reference for analysis. The articulation of these theoretical and methodological perspectives proved potent tool of democratization of knowledge and contributing to the post-paradigmatic science in making anti-hegemonic-globalization movement revaluing knowledge and experiences considered marginal. For the articulation we present the Theatre of the Oppressed as a dialogic space analyzing it in the light of social psychology mediated by the prospect of Sociology of Emergencies seeking to develop a tool for research and intervention: a Theatre Emergencies. We conclude by discussing the potential of this joint to the research and intervention of the social psychologist.
