Poéticas do deslocamento : corpo, memória, paisagem

Abstract

Poetics of Displacement: Body, Memory, Landscape is an artistic and intellectual project that proposes an investigation of contemporary art and culture through a dialectic between space and time. The research focuses on authors and artists who work with geographical and historical interlinkages, creating poetics that happen precisely in the displacements between layers of space and layers of time. Thus, in creating conceptual nuclei that allow a deepening of the issues at stake, the thesis develops through segments that stress the relations between body, memory and landscape, mainly in audiovisual productions that slide between contemporary art, cinema and literature. In dialogue with thinkers like Georges Didi-Huberman, Jacques Rancière, Andreas Huyssen, Jeanne-Marie Gagnebin and Philippe Alain-Michaud, among others, and with artists such as James Benning, Cao Guimarães, Patricio Guzmán, Agnès Varda and Maya Deren, among others, the project presents analysis of the works of artists and thinkers and reflections on the creative process of the author. In this way, it investigates both the potentials that arise from the combinations between the concepts, such as body-landscape, landscape-memory and memory-body, as well as their possible re-readings such as landscape-landscape, memory-memory and body-body
