L'art intègre parfois dans ses processus créatifs les témoignages corporels, sexuels, personnels et subjectifs/subjectivants de l’artiste, mais aussi de sujets sociaux qui s'opposent aux constructions sociales et culturelles imposées par le(s) biopouvoir(s) hégémonique(s). Cette thèse présente un art biocritique capable de reconnaître la potentialité esthétique et artistique des témoignages et des vécus qu'il intègre en tant que matériel plastique à sa biocritique artistique. Elle a pour objectif de proposer une théorie (la théorie esthétique biocritique) et une méthode de déconstruction esthétique permettant d'observer et de rendre observable les potentialités esthétiques des corporalités et sexualités subjectivantes considérées comme « abjectes» par le biopouvoir en tant qu'actions biocritiques esthético-politiques (exemples d'action politique de ce que l’auteure dénomme une biopolitique esthétique). Pour ce faire, le présent travail a mis en valeur la potentialité esthétique de l'autoérotisme et de l'orgasme, en tant qu'actions biocritiques menées dans le cadre de « l’Œuvre multiorgasmique collective ». / The art sometimes includes in his creative process testimonies physical, sexual, personal and subjective/subjectifying of the artist, but also of the social subjects who oppose with their bodies at the social and cultural constructs imposed by biopower(s) hegemonic(s). This thesis presents an art bio-critic able to recognize the potential aesthetic and artistic testimonies and experiences abjects of the body as it integrates its plastic material bio criticism art. It aims to propose a theory (bio-critic aesthetic theory) and a method of deconstruction aesthetic to observe and make observable the aesthetic potential of corporality's and sexualities subjectivists considered "abjects" by the biopower as aesthetic and bio-political action biocritics (political action that the author denominates aesthetic biopolitics). To do this, the present work has highlighted the potential aesthetic autoeroticism / masturbation and orgasm / sexual pleasure, as actions biocritics conducted under "Work multiorgasmic collective."

De nombreuses œuvres plastiques sont nées d'une réflexion théorique et pratique influencée par les questions politiques et sociales. Hormis des différences dans les procédés utilisés, elles sont fédérées par un esprit de rébellion et de contestation. A travers l'examen des rapports entre l'art et la culture populaire, le street art et les phénomènes socio-critiques dans la société de consommation, notre sujet est organisé sur trois axes en quatre parties. Notre intention première va montrer que les artistes modernes ont découvert la valeur artistique des graffitis et de certaines expressions anonymes inscrites sur les murs avec un caractère intellectuel. Ensuite, nous explorerons le sujet dans la perspective de la culture populaire, du regard critique sur l'époque, et de certains critères plastiques qui ont eu de l'influence sur les street artistes en France. Enfin, dans les troisième et quatrième parties, nous étudierons les querelles posées quant à la fonction sociale de l'œuvre d'art, le rôle de l'artiste, le problème éthique de l'artiste, et la valeur artistique véritable dans la culture industrielle et l'art commercial, en déroulant le panorama des activités des street artistes. C'est sur le fondement de cette hypothèse que nous nous sommes posé la question des contenus sociaux/critiques de ce street art et de ses rapports avec la sphère socio-critique qui, lui, est une représentation de l'ère contemporaine. Quant aux deux axes de « la valeur artistique » et de « l'acte rebelle », traitant de la modernité propre à l'art contemporain et des rapports qu'elle entretient avec la vision critique, ceux-ci fondent le mouvement street art, le caractère rebelle ou activiste de cet art et son approche critique du monde de l'art ou de notre société étant indispensables à sa survie en tant que tel. Les méthodologies visent à analyser et à critiquer l'influence politique et sociale de l'image de telle sorte qu'elles permettent de réfléchir sur le champ pratique et théorique de notre étude. / Many plastic works were born from a theory and practice influenced by political and social issues. Apart from differences in the methods used, they are united by a spirit of rebellion and contestation. We examined the relationship between art and popular culture, street art and socio-critical phenomenon of this period. Our hypothesis is that this relationship can be defined by the concept of street art, understood as an artistic practice whose connotations are both aesthetic and social a critique and order. It is on the basis of this hypothesis that we questioned the social content / critique of street art and its relationship with the socio-critical sphere which is a representation of the contemporary era. Our first intention was to show, through the graffiti testimony that the modern artists discovered the artistic value of graffiti and some anonymous registrant walls with intellectual expression. Then, this part concerns the prospect of popular culture, critical look at the age and plastics criteria that have had an influence on the street artists in France. Finally, the third and fourth parts deepen the street art movement that became the graffiti art in the history of contemporary art. We study the quarrels offered by the social function of works of art, the ethical problem of the artist's work social function, role, and real artistic value in the industrial culture and commercial art, unrolling a panorama of street artists activities. The two axes of “the artistic value” and “rebellious act”, dealing with contemporary art and its relationship with its critical vision of modernity, those are the foundation of the street art movement, which activist and rebel practice, as an art, and a critical approach towards the art world or our society are essential to its survival as it is. This subject will therefore give us the opportunity to question the true art in our society, a consumer society. Any image that is concerned with the meaning of the pictorial discourse is contentious and feeds on cultural and political antagonisms.

Por meio da experiência em processos de criação do grupo Teatro da Vertigem, como dramaturgista durante oito anos, pudemos observar transformações na esfera de ação do dramaturgismo. Em continuidade com a ampliação da noção de dramaturgia e dos diferentes modos como têm se integrado aos processos de criação, ao abarcar a materialidade das obras cênicas, a experimentação nas práticas dramatúrgicas coloca a pesquisa artística em outro patamar de complexidade, o que torna necessário investigar sobre suas atividades e, especialmente, o papel da dimensão crítica no interior da criação. Particularmente, são exploradas três experiências no Teatro da Vertigem, a saber: Bom Retiro 958 metros, Patronato 999 metros e Dire ce qu\'on ne pense pas dans des langues qu\'on ne parle pas. São exemplos de trabalhos artísticos realizados no espaço da cidade, a partir da especificidade do lugar, também chamado site-specific work. Neles, o contexto socioespacial torna-se matéria prima da investigação do dramaturgista, ao acionar campos de tensão entre conceitos que, por sua vez, nutrem a produção, ao mesmo tempo em que esta interfere nos contextos. Portanto, esta pesquisa pretende demonstrar a possibilidade do dramaturgista atuar com o objetivo de aprofundar e problematizar a própria crítica que o trabalho artístico deseja efetuar, tendo em vista o processo contínuo de absorção e neutralização da crítica pela linguagem da mercadoria. Esta prática, estamos chamando de dramaturgismo crítico. / Through the experience in creative processes of the theatre group Teatro da Vertigem, as a dramaturg for eight years, transformations on the dramaturg work field were observed. Continuing the amplification of dramaturgy\'s notion and the different ways that it has been integrated to creation processes, which includes scenic work art\'s materiality, the experimentation on performing arts practices puts artistic research on another level of complexity. That demands investigation of its activities, concerning specially the role of the critic\'s dimension inside the creative process. Three experiences by Teatro da Vertigem are investigated: Bom Retiro 958 metros, Patronato 999 metros and Dire ce qu\'on ne pense pas dans des langues qu\'on ne parle pas. Those are examples of artistic works made at the city space, inspired by the particularities of that specific places, which is called site-specific work. In those works, the social and spatial background becomes the raw material of dramaturg\'s research, by activating tension between concepts that feeds the production. At the same time, this production interferes in that context. Therefore, this research aims to demonstrate the possibility of a dramaturg work with the goal of deepen and criticize the critique that the artistic work aims to do, considering the ongoing process, assembled by commodity\'s language, that absorbs and neutralizes the critique. This practice will be called \"critical dramaturgism\".

Esta dissertação aborda o desenvolvimento do projeto Arte/Cidade na cidade de São Paulo entre os anos de 1994 e 2002, a partir de um questionamento sobre as relações entre cidade, política e estética e sobre os potenciais e problemas atuais que a arte urbana teria para se configurar como instância crítica. Arte/Cidade foi e é uma iniciativa cultural de grandes eventos de intervenção artística em espaços urbanos, que realizou quatro exposições em São Paulo, e exibiu várias mudanças em seu desenrolar: surgido em uma instituição pública como empreendimento artístico, passou a ser organizado por uma associação não-governamental e a se envolver também em debates urbanísticos, arquitetônicos e políticos sobre a metrópole contemporânea. Por outro lado, o projeto também ocorreu em meio a um momento de crescente vinculação entre empreendimentos culturais e marketing urbano, no bojo de uma progressiva espetacularização, privatização e mercadorização da cidade e da cultura. Propõe-se aqui identificar e analisar as principais mudanças nos discursos, estratégias e práticas de Arte/Cidade, com o objetivo de refletir sobre sua inserção nesse panorama e sobre as implicações e potenciais políticos de um mega-evento artístico em espaço urbano na São Paulo da década de noventa. / This dissertation discourses about the development of Arte/Cidade project in the city of São Paulo between 1994 and 2002, based on concerns about the relations between city, politics and aesthetics and about the present potentials and problems that urban art would have to configure itself as critical instance. Arte/Cidade was and is a cultural initiative of great events comprehending artistic interventions in urban spaces, which accomplished four expositions in São Paulo and showed many changes in its development: initiated in a public institution as an artistic enterprise, it was later organized by of a non-governmental association and also involved itself in urbanistic, architectonical and political debates about the contemporary metropolis. On the other hand, the project happened in a moment of increasing binding between cultural enterprises and urban marketing, in a context of progressive spectacularization, privatization and merchandising of the city and of the culture. This work intends to identify and to analyze the main changes in Arte/Cidade speeches, strategies and practices, with the objective of reflecting on its insertion in that scope and on the political implications and potentials of an artistic mega-event in the urban space of São Paulo in the ninety’s.

O trabalho investiga a presença do expressionismo alemão em Mário de Andrade, a partir da análise de alguns momentos de sua atividade intelectual e artística sobretudo, sua crítica de arte, passagens de seus manifestos literários e os livros Losango cáqui e Amar, verbo intransitivo. A escolha desses momentos se deu após uma leitura abrangente da obra, em que foram identificadas três categorias igualmente essenciais ao expressionismo: o primitivismo, a deformação e a preocupação social, que, portanto, nos serviram de guia para o discurso crítico. / The dissertation investigates the presence of German Expressionism in Mário de Andrade, as from the analysis of some periods of his intelectual and artistic activities - especially, his art criticism, his literary manifestos\' passages and the books Losango Cáqui and Amar, verbo intransitivo. The choice of this specific moments occurred after an embracing reading of his work, which identified three essential categories to the Expressionism: the primitivism, distortion and social concern, that led us to the critical speech.
