“Nobody loses no one’s hand”: an “ingenue” (?), “romantic” (?) and “hopeful” (?) performance autoethnography

Abstract

Through a performance autoethnography the authors seek to problematize the limits and potentialities of fear in contemporary times, proposing ways from resistance, hope and love. Considering theirs diasporic movements and the encounter with different cultures and times, the potential of dialogical propositions and building bridges is reflected in the body’s interface with culture-society.
