Abstract

This research approaches the visual poetics of Brazilian and Argentinian artists whose artworks undertake a critical discourse of violence of gender (material and symbolic) through images of the body. From a feminist perspective, we focus on the Brazilian contemporary artists Ana Miguel, Rosana Paulino and Cristina Salgado and also the Argentinian Silvia Gai, Claudia Contreras and Nicola Costantino. Their work deals with transfigurations, dramatizations and manipulations on body's images as transgressive maneuvers of resistance. The methodology of this work will be guided by the Feminist studies and by the Difference theory, especially by Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze (AU)
