To dance wrong side out: Artaud, Mbembe and dance as a visceral insurgency of the body without organs
Artaud, Mbembe and dance as a visceral insurgency of the body without organs
Keywords:
Antonin Artaud, Achille Mbembe, body without organs, necropolitics, contemporary danceAbstract
The aim of this work is to investigate the question of body (and of dance as a possible way of overcoming the automatisms of the body). For this purpose, a broad concept of contemporary dance is introduced, taking Artaud and his concept of body without organs as a starting point. In a second moment, the discussion expands with the necropolitical reading of the present times, carried out by Mbembe, who deepened biopolitics by developing concepts such as mortification, reconstruction of oneself and viscerality. Through literature review, the conclusions obtained point towards the body – especially the body that dances – as a possibility of insurgence of the so-called visceral resistance.
