Narrativas/Máquinas performáticas: um diálogo entre literatura e performance

Abstract

For its composite character, literature has long been revealed as a fertile ground for experimentation and dialogue with other artistic manifestations, as Roland Barthes reveals in his Lesson (1977) and S/Z (1970). In addition, in view of the incessant return of the body as the core of themes/discussions of contemporary aesthetics, it becomes possible to think, in a great way, in a dialogue between literary art and performance art. In this sense, the present work intends to dialogue poems by the gaucho writer Angelica Freitas, in A uterus is the size of a fist (2017), and performances by the visual artist from Para, Berna Reale, understanding the constitution of the literary text as a “performative writing” (RAVETTI, 2002) and that the dialogue between literature and performance can create a “performatic machine” (AGUILAR;CAMARA, 2017).
