Revelações do corpo

possibilidades de uma experiência estética

Abstract

This article proposes to reflect on the human body composed of organs, cartilage, bones, its carnality, supported by the studies of Merleau-Ponty (1992, 1994, 2004), whose intention is to present a provisional synthesis of the concept of perception. We talk about the process of formation of the body and the sensitive experience that is shown as a propellant of esthesia. It is believed that the human being, in an anesthetic state, lives in an automatic flow of reflexive action-reaction and indifferent to the events that modify their cultural environment. Some approaches to the body theme are carried out as a creative power intoxicated by flows, sensations and excretions, supported by aesthetic experience. In this context, aesthetics is not marked as an aspect of philosophy that seeks to make the beautiful explicit, but rather focuses on the experience that transforms, destabilizes and produces sensations. It seeks to resolve the dichotomy between body and mind, insofar as it is created in the body, as an inseparable element of its history.
