Ver o semelhante : mímesis, representação e autoficção

Abstract

This research begins with the study of the relationship between fiction and verisimilitude, to arrive into a understanding of the poetic practice as an exercise of autofiction and selfformation. The investigation begins with the study of the greek concept of mimesis, as proposed by Plato and Aristotle, in its fundamental relationship with fiction, metaphor and verisimilitude in relation with reality. In following text, the concept of fiction an verisimilitude are also reviewed in relation with the concept of representation. It last one, since its etymological origin, until the transformations of the term pointed by the poststructuralistics philosophers, as Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard. In this course, based on the relation between fiction and the so call objective reality, we arrived to the relationship between fiction and authorship. From the idea of the death of the author in Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault and the fictional practice around itself held by some artists such as Joseph Beuys, Yves Klein, Marcel Duchamp, and others, we have come to the understanding of the concept of autofiction. This neologism, appeared in the literature, is here adapted to practices in the visual arts and also the idea of self-constitution in the context of the relationship between art and life. In this process, we propose the concept ofexistential autofiction as indication of this practice. This proposed neologism dialogues with others that have arisen in the field of the visual arts, such as anti-artist, a-artist, ect-artist, non-artist, and that is also constitute the basis of the relationship between art and life. My practice poetic authorship is presented in dialog with these concepts and issues.
