PHOTO PERFORMANCE as a question zone

The book presented here is the result of the reunion of three essays produced for the doctoral course PPGAV (UFBA), closely linked to the research theme "CORPO DESMANCHADO: subjectivities emerging from the body-matter nexus". The production of the writing comes from the manifest will of putting oneself in dialogue with an author, to establish with him lines of argumentative crossing with the purpose of "interpellating" him.In the first essay, the issue is centered on the aesthetic and historical review of photographic art, drawing attention to the performative character implied in the figure of the photographer -capturing, incidence, remanagement-, leading with it the conceptual resizing of image production itself. The second essay deals with the critical examination of the epistemic-methodological tools that are compromised when the field of study requests the phatic incorporation of the researcher, to think immediately about the fields that include us -genetic and autobiographical. The last essay reflects on the questions that contemporary art puts before us when its continuity requires dismantling the paradigm of the euro-centric -summoned in the melancholy of post-criticism- and redefining the body/territory nexus as a founding datum.
