RESUMO

The object of this research comprehends a critical investigation of the specificities of the term site-specific, which has been appropriated from the English language and used internationally to describe works of art which find in their context a defining role. The goal of the research is to fold the implied concept over the word itself, or, to defend the idea that the expression sitespecific is a site-specific in itself. Its use in other contexts and languages should therefore undergo some sort of elaboration, or translation. Site-specificity is understood not solely as a subject, but also as a method to constitute the dissertation itself as a specific site, where it is possible to propose an artistic operation. Translation is understood as a poetic operation, more than an attempt to create a word in Portuguese which would be equivalent to site-specific in English. What is understood by a poetic operation is the creation of a relational and collaborative field of several authors, languages, ideas, concepts and images; including, through conceptual strategies, the reader as a constitutive element of the game proposed.
