Abstract

This article proposes, discusses and shares psychophysical methodologies for approaching archives and memories of performances, through the example of an ongoing PhD research. This research studies body art works, made by Latin American artists between 1973 and 2000, which discuss relations between patriarchy, violence and the body of women.

Thus, this article discusses the application of these methodologies for the study of 7 works by Latin American artists, discussing the method itself and its installation as an anti-patriarchal and decolonial way of producing academic and historical knowledge in dance. ; Este artículo comparte, propone y discute metodologías psicofísicas de acercamiento a los archivos y la memoria de performances, a través del ejemplo de una investigación de doctorado en curso.

Se considera que, por medio de estos procesos de repetición, se pueden comprender mejor los ...
