Caminhos para uma escrita escultórica

Abstract

This work presents a group of essays and textual experimentations focused on the notion of a sculptural writing in the scope of research in contemporary artistic practices, the dissolution of categories with which both productions - writing and sculpture - were delimited historically. The sculptural aspect of its procedures concerns the multidimensional textualities elaborated by bodies in their social markers of difference – social class, race, gender and sexuality. Therefore, passages to a sculptural writing problematizes the specificity of aesthetic categories to recognize the text in the Visual Arts as plastic material to be sculpted by different critical, political and poetic agencies. As much in its form, as in its content, methodologies of assemblies, appropriations and approximations between different textual genres were thought to mobilize such research, simultaneously performing its place as academic research and artistic experimentation to mark a marginal positioning to categorizations.
