Prácticas suicidas: una revisión del cuerpo performático desde la resistencia física

Abstract

Suicidal Practices: a review of the performative body from physical resistance, presents in its first part, a brief approach on performance, then an analysis of possibilities of representation resulting from contexts on action art in the history of art. This works has been selected based on criteria and concepts of artists who use pain or physical resistance. The author understands the "suicidal practices" from the voluntary risk of using the body as a tool of political art. The political is understood within this research as the approaches of resistance, (denunciation, catharsis and irruption) that, from the meta-narrative as personal discourse, culminate in a breakdown of the researcher's works, which understand and make visible the interests and debates on heteronormativity, violence, pain, body, in the series called Cain in the showcase.
