Resumo: This article discusses the so-called artistic avant-garde in the twenty-first century, particularly in regard to theatre and performance art; in other words, this text brings into question the current state of those forms of expression. It discusses the concepts of avant-garde, nicheguard and conservatism in order to deal with the conservative status of the avant-garde in the group of artistic expressions mentioned above, that actually merely repeats previous achievements rather than proposing new forms of transgression and disruption of the established order, including the one that running the art system. The article is based on the idea that the avant-garde exists in three realms simultaneously – as a living tradition, as a brand, and as the echo or ghost of the provocation it once was.

Le texte propose donc une réflexion autour des concepts d’avant-garde, de niche-garde et de conservatisme, afin de montrer le statut conservateur des avant-gardes dans l’ensemble des expressions artistiques mentionnées auparavant, lesquelles répètent davantagede faits passés qu’elles ne proposent effectivement des formes de transgression et d’interruption de l’ordre courant, y compris celui qui régit le système même des arts. Cette réflexion s’appuie sur le présupposé que l’avant-garde existe simultanément sous trois formes – en tant que tradition vive, comme une marque et, enfin, comme l’écho ou le fantasme de la provocation qu’elle a été un jour.Este artigo trata da suposta condição vanguardista das artes no século XXI, em especial no que concerne às artes cênicas e performativas; dito de outro modo, o texto pergunta pela situação atual dessas formas de expressão. Discute, assim, os conceitos de vanguarda, de nichoguarda e de conservadorismo, a fim de discorrer sobre o estatuto conservador das vanguardas no conjunto de expressões artísticas anteriormente mencionadas, as quais antes repetem feitos passados do que propriamente propõem novas formas de transgressão e interrupção da ordem vigente, incluindo-se aí aquela que rege o próprio sistema das artes.  Parte-se do pressuposto que a vanguarda existe simultaneamente em três domínios – como tradição viva, como marca e como o eco ou fantasma da provocação que ela foi um dia.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2022-10-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/presenca/article/view/20985Brazilian Journal on Presence Studies; Vol. 2 No. 2 (2012): jul./dez. 2012; 573-600Révue Brésilienne d'Études de la Présence; Vol. 2 No. 2 (2012): jul./dez. 2012; 573-600Révue Brésilienne d'Études de la Présence; Vol. 2 No 2 (2012): jul./dez. 2012; 573-600Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença; v. 2 n. 2 (2012): jul./dez. 2012; 573-6002237-2660reponame:Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presençainstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/presenca/article/view/20985/50147Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presençainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSchechner, Richard2022-10-18T21:33:12Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/20985Revistahttp://seer.ufrgs.br/presencaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/presenca/oai||rev.presenca@gmail.com2237-26602237-2660opendoar:2022-10-18T21:33:12Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
