enquête poétique, pandémie, capitalisme, raceRésumé
En réponse aux logiques racistes et capitalistes mises en évidence par la pandémie, je m'engage dans une enquête poétique en tissant les mots d'Arundhati Roy dans un Vox Justitia multimodal. Je commence par une brève justification de l'enquête, en notant que la pandémie a accentué les méfaits du racisme et du capitalisme, et a exposé la fragilité de la démocratie contemporaine. Je décris ensuite pourquoi l'enquête poétique en général, et un Vox Justitia en particulier, engagée à travers l'écriture d'Arundhati Roy, offrent un moyen utile de faire face à ce moment. Enfin, je procède aux cinq mouvements de mon Vox Justitia, en utilisant des images, des titres de journaux, et des extraits de l'écriture de Roy, pour contextualiser cette analyse poétique.
