Audiovisual Poetics of Precariousness: An analysis of the web series Leona Vingativa

Abstract

This article discusses precariousness as a poetic category in the audiovisual, examining its relationship with the aesthetics of video and its influence in contemporary amateur productions, based on the analysis of the Leona Vingativa web series from the perspective of Queer Caboclo. This perspective establishes the category of the margin, the out-of-scene, the self-representations and the echoes of subalternized voices, thus reflecting the interactions, influences, desires and ways of seeing that underlie a new sensitive and countercultural order. The figure of the Queer Caboclo, of the Amazonian body, with its features and performativity, outlines a new epistemological turn, whose reflections reveal contradictions and a critical rhetoric that interferes in the formal and conceptual criteria of mass culture, resulting in a process of rearticulation of meanings with a political and subversive slant.
