Anti-colonial temporalities in the podcasts Conversa de Portão, Praia dos Ossos and História Preta

Abstract

This article analyzes the narrative conformation of three podcasts, which in their editorial proposals seek to tension a linear and progressive view of time, history and journalism itself based on race and gender. These are Praia dos Ossos; Conversa de Portão and História Preta. They mobilize different strategies to demonstrate colonial-modern conformations of knowledge and power and their ways of coping. We are interested, therefore, in analyzing how podcasts help us to configure potent forms for an anti-colonial history, insofar as they propose and focus on peculiar ways of revisiting the movements of the past and their refigurations in the present, through an act of historical “erasure”, with tactical resistances, sedimented in their forms of language and sound enunciation.
