Sobre o movimento. O corpo e a clínica.

Abstract

This thesis deals with the study of the body in its sensitive quality, trying to evince that the current dominating forms fall on this body, since it undergoes an anesthetic process in its intensive field, either due to an over-excitement of sensation or, contrarily, due to its obliteration. Such anesthesia comes from new contemporary subjectivation ways, in which life has become the privileged locus for the action of powers. The annoyed body, deprived of its unique productive strengths, arises in a complex interferences network around it. For health politics orientation, knowledge is organized in its rules for individuals and groups, guarding them from differentiations. The possibility of alterity experience is faded, since individuals and groups reproduce the logic of expropriating their own ways of feeling and perceiving the world. The works here investigated, on dance and on the mobilization of bodies that develop methods to experience their movements and rhythms, grant access to sensitive conditions, since they ask the body questions that go beyond the rationalized knowledge about it. Working as new cognitive operators, these papers sustain a making of bodies in their subjective processes, where paradox and alterity can emerge as resistance to formations arising from current knowledge/power games. Also in the same direction, psychoanalysis can contribute a lot in reevaluating its practices observing the sensitive conditions of bodies and in theoretically rethinking this place, the body, which as a field of virtues trespassed by the collective, approaches the original state of existence. In this place subjectivation occurs in the field of strengths, pulsional field that grasps the world and produces its forms in process of bodily erotization. Some psychoanalytic theories gave an important contribution to sophisticate a knowledge which considers psychism embodied. This viewpoint, that does not separate body and psychism, tries to break with the binary logic characteristic of the classical psychoanalytical viewpoint, highlighting the importance of affections within the clinic and thus allowing the definite marriage of subject and culture, for the understanding of symptoms. The shape of strengths results from a process based on the perceptions of a given affective, intense field. So the possibilities of keeping unique existence forms relates to the ability to access this field of strengths, conceived as a field that allows constructing and de-constructing the symbolic universe. In approaching the critical dimension of studies on corporeity, the pathological states can be understood as resistance to the imperative of codified organizations.
