“Trigger warning”: body, testimony and denunciation effects

Abstract

This article is part of the Discourse Analysis field and attempts to problematize and discuss the testimonial effect present in writing-empowerment, particularly focused on the ways in which poetic text symbolizes the experience of sexual violence. Therefore, issues such as belonging, silencing and intersectionality are problematized, based on "trigger warning" analysis, turning attention to traces of memory which can signify it as writing of resistance to the racial and sexual division of the work of writing. Thus, we try to understand the effects of body, testimony and denunciation produced in their way of symbolizing the experience of sexual violence, constituted as a gesture of resistance to the ideological production of meanings that hyperssexualizes a black woman's body.
