Abstract

This editorial reflects on the urgent need for literature that reflects Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) theories, practices and methods. This Special Issue investigates the social and cultural contexts that support and enable decolonial practices of theorizing and healing. The authors herein experiment with different forms of resistance, imagine new research methodologies, engage collective imagination, and lift and re-cover cultural wisdom through their contributions. Calling on ancestral, cultural and embodied knowledge, the contributors to this Special Issue unsettle default assumptions and expectations regarding knowledge, theory and practice in drama therapy and beyond.

Résumé

Cet éditorial reflète le besoin urgent d’une littérature qui reflète les théories, les pratiques et les méthodes du BIPOC. Ce numéro spécial étudie les contextes sociaux et culturels qui soutiennent et facilitent les pratiques décoloniales de théorisation et de guérison. Les auteurs expérimentent ici différentes formes de résistance, imaginent de nouvelles méthodologies de recherche, engagent l’imagination collective, et élèvent et rétablissent la sagesse culturelle à travers leurs contributions. Faisant appel aux connaissances ancestrales, culturelles et incarnées, les contributeurs à ce numéro spécial bouleversent les suppositions et attentes convenues concernant les connaissances, la théorie et la pratique en dramathérapie et au-delà.
