Corpo desembestado: por uma instauração bufona-ciborgue-bixa

Abstract

The thesis addresses the performance “The unbridled body of AdivinhaaDiva” to map a series of theoretical devices that composes it. This is an investigation into an artivist body, which acts as a space of tensions and denunciations and, through performance art, establishes AdivinhaaDiva, a buffoon­-cyborg­-faggot. To reach this purpose, the artist herself diagrammed, as a methodology of her research, according to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, the convergence zone between extradisciplinary notions and concepts necessary for the updating of such active force in her body. The devices were based on artistic studies, such as those by Bya Braga, Bia Medeiros, Eleonora Fabião, Cassiano Sydow Quilici and Joaquim Elias, philosophical studies, such as those by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Michel Foucault and Etienne Souriau, and gender theories, such as Donna Haraway, Paul B. Preciado, Judith Butler and Paco Vidarte. The thesis concludes with a reflection on how to establish themselves in different spaces, in order to address their possible bodily and social experiences, as well as their consequences in other artistic­-citizen achievements.
