Uma discreta dan？a da resistência: corpo, arte e subjetiva？？o na oficina de criatividade de um hospital psiquiátrico

this paper seeks to pose questions regarding the body and body-power relationships, through artistic practices accomplished in a creativity workshop at a psychiatric hospital, by means of prospecting non-disciplinary possibilities for body experience, using gestures, postures and movements in artistic production. from this, it sought to associate ethics, esthetics and politics, within a processual view of the artistic experience in two ethnographic situations, thereby establishing a close relationship between art, body and subjectivation. from this, in turn, the possibilities of resistance are discussed. the particular processes of subjectivation (and the possibilities of body practices of re-singularization, re-appropriation and creation of unavailability to power, through producing a non-subjected subject) are viewed from an esthetic point of view. thus, production of art through the body and production of the body through art are both emphasized.
