FOLLY, Ellen Guimarães. Writing as a Performance and Letters as a Method: Letter to the Readers of this Article. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.3, pp.1-15. ISSN 1809-8908.

This article aims to convey to the reader the possible view of performative writing as a natural and intrinsic form, where writing and life itself intersect, in an attempt to show that the act of writing is simultaneously, write and subscribe to history. Therefore, it was necessary to re-encounter letters and poems produced during a personal process of creation of a Master's thesis in Psychology, utilizing as a pillar the meeting with the writers Carolina Maria de Jesus and Conceição Evaristo, their personal and political relations with the feminine and with the labor of writing linked to the act of living. Thus, we can understand writing as part of life, confronting the milling of academic writing and its processes of colonization of our way of writing and our way of thinking and learning, and finally inviting the reader to actively participate in this deconstruction, overturning the concepts of how one should, or should not, proceed in writing.

Palabras clave : Performative writing; Written experience; Letters.
