This thesis is an exercise in looking at slam poetry, focusing on the movement in Brazil and making some reflections from the field of Visual Culture. Slam poetry emerged in the early 1980s in the United States and since then has spread to several countries. In Brazil, slam poetry arrived in 2008, the country being one of the references for the quantity and diversity of slam groups spread, in addition to other elements that make up many particularities of each group. The notes made in this text follow the trajectory that begins in the autobiographical path and expands in avenues when finding slam poetry, and understanding it as a poetic act, transfiguring itself into energy of resistance and occupation of seeing, hearing and feeling. The direction in which the thesis is constituted arose from the following questions: what visualities and countervisualities do slammers promote, summon and provoke, from the poems that overflow their bodies? Which narratives mobilize and want to propose? The consequences resulting from these inquiries originate in the investigative work that began in 2019, from the participation in poetic slam battles, in the city of Goiânia, in Goiás and, with the arrival of the covid­19 pandemic, the research moved to the competitions that took place in the environment of digital platforms. Given this context, the material that drives the reflections presented here is diverse and comprises various nuances of what already exists in the systematization of slam poetry. That being said, the perspective addressed supported by visual culture covers the dimensions of the poetic act from a pedagogy of slam poetry, from its understanding as cirandas of knowledge anchored in popular education and in the politics of the word, in which the need becomes a voice and the poem becomes the terrain of revolution, since the event in the format of popular assemblies, adding the competitive element between artist poets. In addition, this thesis follows the paths of slam poetry as an insurgency through counterpoetry, in its decolonial exercise, since its aesthetics goes towards the sanación of colonial wounds, having as its power the poetic fabrication of the visual city, without losing the reflections of a pandemic poetics in a regime of denial in Brazil governed by the extreme right­wing, until the year 2022. It finally enters the conditions of this poetic work during long­distance connections by populating digital platforms with poetry and other sensitive exercises. The systematized elements are not intended to show fixed answers, but to point to other perspectives of looking at the slam poetry movement and at artists who reconfigure the scene in everyday life.
