Foto performance como zona de interrogação & outras interferências

Abstract

The book presented here is the result of the collection three essays produced for the PPGAV (UFBA) doctoral course, closely linked to the research theme "BODY DISMANCHED: emerging subjectivities of the body-matter nexus". The production of writing cames from the manifest disire to enter into dialogue with an author, to establish lines of argument crossing with him in order to "interpellate" him. In the first essay, the question focuses on the aesthetic and historical review of fhotographic art., drawing attention to the performative character implied in the figure of the photographer -capture, focus, rearrange-, bringing with it the conceptual resizing of the production of images. The second deais with the critical examination of the epistemic-methodological tools that are compromised when the field of study requests the factual incorporation of the researcher, to think immediately about the fields that include us -genetic andautobiographical. the last essay reflects on the questions that contemporary art puts in front of us when its continuity requires dismanthing the paradigm of the Euro-centered- submerged in the melancholy of post-criticism - and redefining the body/territory nexus as founding datum.
