Corpos luminosos, passageiros na noite : três ensaios sobre as resistências das imagens e dos corpos na pista de dança

Abstract

This dissertation gathers essays about the persistence of the ways that images and bodys make us feel and act in the city. The essays seek to awake a desire of resistance and life on the present. The first one talks about a photographic practice triggered by the June happening, the afects and relations produced by being on the street, fighting the powers that try to enclosure us. The movie Madame Satã (2002) is analyzed on the second essay. With its images we pursue glorious sensations to establish a interference capable of eliciting other ways of living in the city. The interference proposal is presented in the third essay through the device-carnival-block Amigos da Onça, an action of the Onça Colective and the Laboratório de Imagens da Subjetividade (Images of Subjective Laboratory) in the Vitória's carnival of 2016. With the block we tried to create a dancefloor in the city to populate the bodys and the urban with a queer animality. The essays are introduced with narrative practices experienced with the sensations sparked by the research between friends and, above all, with the desire of move, in a dance, the survivor of minority bodies in the night.
