| Abstract | |
An actress investigates performativities involving males and females roles. As a laboratory rat and scientific subject, experiences itself and the bodies around her with the mythology of the erotic woman, looking to overcome dualities in an androgeny exploration. The Greek myth of Helen is the field trials, an engaging poetic material studied mostly from the tragedy "The Trojan Women", by Euripides; the historical research of Bettany Hughes; the analysis of Prof. Junito de Souza Brandão and the novel of the French Sophie Chaveau. Helen's issues will be problematized from gender studies of Judith Butler and Beatriz Preciado; and the perspective of the Imaginary, especially in Gaston Bachelard and CG Jung. Approached from its subversions of femininity, as dissonant figure that remains in Western art from Homer, the research seeks to an androgeny exploration because the bodies seeking to assume the feminine and the masculine, proposing to remain at the border, away from universalizations, where there everything seems confused and chaotic. It is also assumed a slutty exploration because the organization of ideas allows the coming and going between theory and practice shamelessly. This work is theoretical and practical, interdisciplinary and autobiographical (AU) | |
