CorpoCidade: uma análise sobre micropolíticas de resistência na performance Mercúrio Líquido

Abstract

This work is intended to investigate the urban body and to think about the aspects that emerge from the relations between body and city, in the ambit of the performance Mercúrio Líquido of the artist Letícia Nabuco. Initially, a brief overview is presented on the configuration of cities, aiming to explain how the urban landscape has been constructed from the organization of capitalist society. In the sequence, the interweaving between art and politics is elucidated, explaining the political potential of art as a constructor of dissent. Finally, it enters into the bodies that are enunciated in the encounters, which become contaminated and become the connections with the environments, so that we can conclude that, faced with the impoverishment of bodily experience, it is necessary to change both in the way the urban body experiences the spaces, as well as in the recomposition of these, being the art capable of announcing other more aesthetic and democratic ways.
