INVITATION | Friday of the Month (@sextadomes) invites everyone to the August themed panel! ✨
Theme: "Conceptions of Body and Corporeality"
Studies on the body follow distinct approaches, from the field of biomedical sciences, through the arts, and culminating in anthropological research. However, the dialogue between traditional conceptions of the body present in Indigenous ethnology and the field of performing arts, more specifically dance, seems to have lacked significant convergence, for various reasons aligned with disciplinary and, at times, overlapping projects. We are interested in considering theories of the body, from a Maussian perspective to recent research in gender studies, Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Indigenous cultural manifestations, which (re)update and connect the different fields of the humanities and anthropological production.
The purpose of this panel is to promote cross-disciplinary meetings on (in)disciplinary studies of the body in different ethnographic and artistic contexts, exploring Indigenous, Afro-diasporic, and trans corporealities. Therefore, it is worth asking: what are the implications of the lack of dialogue regarding conceptions of the body in different areas of knowledge and the intersections of poetic and political projects of social actors, along with their pragmatic effects?
