Resumo: | The article uses a concept proposed by Walter Benjamin for understanding the artwork of Swiss-Brazilian painter Mira Schendel. In Schendel, the search for a primordial experience - a non representable core that inhabits each representation - is expressed by the reduction to a foundational gesture which is usually concealed by an excess of ornamentation, metaphors and figurative meanings. This procedure was described in Benjamin´s essay on Kafka, where he calls it reduction to the gesture. The article tries to explore the power of this concept, working the way Schendel coul formalize it in her artwork. |

Em Schendel, a busca por uma experiência primordial – um núcleo não representável que habita toda representação – se expressa pela redução a um gesto fundante, gesto este que costuma estar encoberto, nas artes em geral, por um excesso de adornos, metáforas e sentidos figurados. Este procedimento, descrito por Benjamin em seu ensaio sobre Kafka, foi por ele nomeado como redução ao gesto.O artigo procura explorar a potência deste conceito, trabalhando o modo como Schendel foi capaz de formalizá-lo plasticamente em sua obra.ABEC2014-10-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractal/article/view/5046Fractal: Journal of Psychology; n. esp. - Dossiê Arte, Narrativas e Subjetividade; 645-658Fractal: Revista de Psicologia; n. esp. - Dossiê Arte, Narrativas e Subjetividade; 645-6581984-0292reponame:Fractal : Revista de Psicologiainstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractal/article/view/5046/4896Copyright (c) 2018 Fractalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessdo Valle, Ana MariaGondar, Jô2018-06-05T12:06:42Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/5046Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractalPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractal/oai||anaclmonteiro@yahoo.com.br|| mlivianascimento@gmail.com1984-02921984-0292opendoar:2018-06-05T12:06:42Fractal : Revista de Psicologia - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
