Abstract

This essay is part of a broader investigation that aims to make a critical approach to Augusto Boal's Theater of the Oppressed with the aim of expanding the conceptualization of theatrical praxis, a discipline that we have been building for several years. In this initial work we have been concerned with the meaning of two words: 'people' and 'oppressed' in the texts of the Brazilian master. For this, we have found it necessary to carry out a kind of genealogy in order to guide resonances of other authors in the Boalian proposal. In this case, we have focused on approaching the Discourse on voluntary servitude or Contra Uno (circa 1548) by Étienne de La Boétie. We try to make a reading of the Discourse from psychoanalytic premises and from the Lacanian left to clear some hypotheses capable of acting as a guide for future research, which will be focused on a selection of texts and authors whose relevance in the Theater of the Oppressed cannot be ignored.
