Corpos transformacionais: a transformação corporal nas artes da cena

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) create, characterize and explore the notion of Transformational Bodies, as well as the numerous transontocosmoepistemological concepts arising from it and the worlds it engenders, proposing it as a fundamental artistic, political and social reflection for reflections on body and gender variance in the performing arts, as well as weaving philosophical experiments about 2) the poetics of embodiment, alteration and potentiation of body transformation in this field, considering the methodological, performative, creative and acting work of movement artists and performers, outlining 3) the political, historical and cultural implications of cisheteronormative power devices that exercise and update colonial mechanisms on these existences. To this end, I will produce, through Transchymerography, conceptual movements that will support my theoretical and experiential proposition, such as changes in physical states, body transformation and alteration of the states of matter, based on references from Butoh, Performance Studies, Philosophy of Difference, Neomaterialist and Posthumanist Feminism, Trans Studies, Anthropological Studies and Anticolonial Studies. The characterization of Transformational Bodies reveals new methodological perspectives and ways to resist cisnormative processes of capturing body transformation through cistems. Against these processes, I tried to elaborate new scenic transontocosmoepistemological possibilities with anti-colonial paths that could promote radical landscapes for the creation of other beings and worlds.
