This course seeks to understand recent changes in the modes of production and reading of works that deal with violence, investigating works by contemporary Brazilian and Latin American artists who work in the field of performance, both in the performing arts and in the visual arts, and who approach the theme in an oblique and suspended way, replacing the form of denunciation that several performance works have assumed in their history with approaches to violence through the body, but without seeking to overcome or deny it. 

Given that violence has always been central to the history of Western performance – a way of highlighting a certain reality of the body – it is necessary to observe that new formalizations of the theme have occurred in these practices in the last two decades, marked by profound transformations in the role of art in the social field, in the relationship of colonized countries with the historical violence they carry, in the role of new technologies in the promotion and dissemination of violent discourses, images and acts and, mainly, by the “positive” incorporation (Byung-Chun Han) of violence into the social fabric.

Agenda

Class 01 – Janet Toro (Chile) and Eliana de Santana (Brazil)

• Through the analysis of the artists' works, we will think about twisting and turning one's back as procedures contrary to performative exhibition and that the artists use in a poetic way to deal with historical violence in their countries of origin.

Class 02 – Juliana Notari (Brazil) and Maria José Arjona (Colombia)

• Through the analysis of the artists' works, we will consider how performance art can be a way of working through fear. However, it is not a way of overcoming it, but rather a way of inhabiting it in action.

Class 03 – Regina Parra (Brazil) and Improbable Productions (Brazil)

• Through the analysis of the artists’ works, we will think about the concept of “barbaric” and its appropriation through the accumulation of images in contemporary performances.

Class 04 – Alice Yura (Brazil) and Cinthia Marcelle (Brazil)

• Through the analysis of the artists' works, we will think about Benjaminian notions such as “divine violence”, “aura” and “technical reproducibility” and their still possible uses in contemporary Brazilian art.
