Desenhos de intimicidade: movimentos entre espaço urbano e doméstico em processo de criação

Abstract

The theoretical-practical research that results in this thesis investigates movements between city and intimacy through a transdisciplinary creative process. The study explores the concept of intimicity through expanded drawing practices, such as GIF art, videoart, performance art and dance. This neologism describes cyclical movements between public and private spheres, transforming through integration artistic languages that connect drawing practice to poetics of movement. The street is understood as a space where citizenship is exercised and where subjective as well as collective narratives are produced. Biopolitical dimensions of objectification (Fredrickson & Roberts 1997) are analyzed, such as self-surveillance (Calogero et al. 2011) and street harassment (Bowman 1993). Such socio-political and psychosocial phenomena examined in the text are also discussed in their symbolic and poetic aspects. It is observed that transit between urban and domestic spaces constitutes the subjectivities of those who draw through and occupy such spaces, creating in these material structures affective, creative and political territories. It is concluded that, in expanded drawing practices as well as in social relations, autonomous, conscious and unexpected movement of embodied subjectivities marked as a social other have the potential of breaking social expectations of docility and submission, disturbing power relations and reclaiming agency and recognition of such subjectivities’ full-fledged rights.
