Resumo: The aim of this essay is to raise questions about the possibilities of alterity of the faceless bodies, taking as central concern the question: how much can we decompose the human figure so that it remainshuman? Starting from a set of images that bring the disfigure as a central pictorial element, the text discusses the possibilities of construction and access to the other in the image. We take as conceptual and methodological anchoring the thought of Georges Bataille, notably the concept of formless, which suggests us to think of otherness from a transgressive similarity, based on the difference and the decomposition of forms. The text seeks to investigate what alterity is possible before faceless bodies, and how this reverberates in the propositions of contemporary visual culture.

Partindo de um conjunto de imagens que trazem a desfigura como elemento pictórico central, o texto discute as possibilidades de construção e acesso ao outro na imagem. Tomamos como ancoragem conceitual e metodológica o pensamento de Georges Bataille, notadamente o conceito de informe, que nos sugere pensar a alteridade a partir de uma semelhança transgressiva, baseada na diferença e na decomposição das formas. O texto busca investigar que alteridade é possível diante dos corpos sem rosto e como isso reverbera nas proposições da cultura visual contemporânea.PEPG COS-PUC-SP2020-07-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/galaxia/article/view/44127Galaxia; No. 44 (2020)GALÁxIA.
