FENDA - Zonas de negociação temporárias: as fricções entre inscrição e não - inscrição que caracterizam um sujeito português no Teatro de Metamorfoses Imperial

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation was to establish a dialog between art and politics, through performance studies (COHEN, 1989), (FÉRAL, 2014), (SCHECHNER, 2007), (ZUMTHOR, 2007), (PHELAN, 1992). Assuming as a hypothesis that the frictions between inscription (GIL, 2004, 2009, 2014) and non-inscription that characterize the Portuguese individual make my artistic course in the theatre of imperial metamorphosis (SLOTERDIJK, 2002). Meaning, where my body emerges as a space of inscription it was built a set for a performance of metamorphosis. For such, I’ve developed autobiographical texts that translate the metamorphosis lived both in Portugal as in Brazil. Focusing mostly in the period of Portugal’s adhesion to the Euro Zone and the manifestations occurred in Brazil during my stay. Through consulted literature, this context of crisis was designated as theatre of imperial metamorphosis creating a con(text) for the performance FENDA – Zonas de Negociação Temporárias, that translates in two processes of creation that I’ve developed throughout the research and in the artistic, social and cultural experiences that I lived in Brazilian soil. Professor Bhabha, amongst others, helped me anthropologically to think in modes of space organization in colonized and colonizing countries. Therefore in the performative game I have created, I sought mechanisms to negotiate the difference and create the relations of alterity and the knowledge I intend to politicize.
