Corpo e espaço em performace

Abstract

The thesis is a scientific production in geography, stimulated by the sensitivity and power of the art of performance, with influences from the philosophy of difference. Thus, the research entails an interweaving of science, art, and philosophy. We carried out several performances to complement the writing, broaden the scope of the research, and contribute to its objectives. Among these objectives, the following stand out: making explicit a body and space in performance, and varying spatial thought to construct open spaces, in the terms of Massey (2009). To this end, we realized that thinking about the body in geography was fundamental to our analysis and practice. Therefore, we sought to consider the human body in spatial relationships, so that, in contact with other human and non-human bodies, it would be adequately equipped with sensitivity to think and act, considering the affective aspects involved in the construction of spaces that are created by all of us, whether we are aware of it or not. In this way, performances serve as devices to enhance variations in thought and spatial experimentation, as this is a means to open up politics for the construction of the space we desire
