RESUMO

The goal of this dissertation is to analyze two strategies of politicization of the body: the work of the Japanese theater group Gekidan Kaitaisha, connected to the thinking of the sixties avant-garde in Japan, and the investigations of the Brazilian choreographer Cristian Duarte who has created what we call temporary collectives". The issues that contaminate these experiences were the starting point to rethink possible body-environment interactions in the scene, as well as intercultural mediation processes. The common trait of the trajectories of these artists are the ways to give visibility to the power relations in the environments where they operate. Therefore, although living in very different cultures, both Gekidan Kaitaisha and Cristian Duartes temporary collectives have questioned the notions of identity, origin and influence, making cracks emerge in stable conceptions of the body and culture, and opening various types of dialogue between East and West. Starting from an undisciplined approach, the theoretical frame of reference of this dissertation was based on the mediabody studies of Christine Greiner and Helena Katz (2001), in the discussion of cultural identity and hybridism conducted by Homi Bhabha (2003), and concepts of politics and politicization of Giorgio Agamben (2001, 2002 and 2006). The works of Muniz Sodré (2002 and 2006) and Jesús Martín-Barbero (1997) were essential to clarify the understanding of communication that guided the present research whose point of departure is the analysis of mediation processes offered by the selected experiences and its sensitive strategies. In addition to the bibliographic research, the methodological procedure included two field researches: the experience with Gekidan Kaitaisha during the studies developed in Japan, and the residence with the choreographer Cristian Duarte in São Paulo. This dissertation study the possibility of politicization of the body and the scene, from communication strategies that dislocate what is considered stable and closed into a field of instability and permeability characteristic of all bodily phenomena
