Corpo e performance : (im)possíveis articulações entre arte T e psicanálise

Abstract

This research study consists of three papers in an essay style that take as object what we call T art, that is, the art made by the T people of the acronym LGBTQIAPN+. It has as objective to investigate the process of de-supposition of knowledge engendered by each one of the artists that we have read. They are: Renata Carvalho, Uýra Sodoma, and Rosa Luz. This bibliographical research study uses mainly psychoanalysis as a theoretical and methodological operator, in addition to the concepts of perspectivism, parrhesia, and anthropophagy. These readings lead us to thinking that T art appears in our century as the possibility of transpophagying that which marks and excludes such existences from a new aesthetics that departs from one’s body itself to construct a body of work that we call T art. This art is common and ordinary, which not only subverts as it also perforates what has been stablished as canonical in the making of art, while it does not allow subordinating at the same time as it has its transgression allocated in what meets its power in what has been called failure by capital. Tensioning psychoanalysis and the so called “gender studies,” we propose a discussion on topics such as body, performance, and jouissance, articulated to the issue of truth and knowledge.
