O sensível e o cruel: uma aprendizagem pelas performances sadomasoquistas

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the experimentation with sadomasochistic performances in an anthropologic and artistic process of thinking by constructing a poetics of cruelty. On that learning journey, the author will propose the actualization of a performative-installation that transmits sensitive signs (figurative and figural ones) of sadomasochism. The theoretical traverse lines come from Bruno Latour’s symmetrical anthropology, Antonin Artaud’s theatre of cruelty, Clarice Lispector’s literature, the philosophy of the sensible by Jacques Rancière with the nomadic philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, the Performance Studies, and the dissident knowledges from Queer Theory, specially the contrasexual thinking by Paul Beatriz Preciado. Taking sensation and representation during this learning, the lines of force will be sought by allowing the anthropologic and artistic knowledge to move through the simultaneity of cultural and natural agencies which, in the poststructuralist turn, soar towards new perspectives on what arts, genders, sexualities, the current machines of production-injunction-reappropriation of pleasures and the technologies of bodies could be. To sum up, this dissertation has affect as an axe whose sciences named methodology and the percept as an epistemology of the lived experience.
