No. of bitstreams: 1 476522 - Texto Completo.pdf: 1257852 bytes, checksum: 5b3d95ee47f8d897d3ba15dedeb1eab5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-08-14 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico - CNPq / This study aims to investigate the transformation of the banal object into a work of art, focusing especially on the art produced in the contemporary world. To carry out this research, the study will use the art theories of Arthur Coleman Danto and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The method that will be used is a critical reading of philosophical works relevant to the subject, to clarify thoughts and allow connections on the topic. The author opted for a description of the theories of Danto and Merleau-Ponty, addressing their intersections and contributions to the question raised about the transfiguration of the object into a work of art. The concept of interpretation that Danto produces, along with Merleau-Ponty?s theory of perception, are some targets of the investigation. The internal coherence of the work concludes with theoretical research into the case of artistic performance, using this as a point of convergence between both theories and an experiential basis for the relevance of the questioning that the study poses. The artistic performance research focuses, for methodological purposes, on concepts of body, time, space and audience. / O presente estudo visa investigar a transforma??o do objeto banal em obra de arte tendo como foco a arte produzida na contemporaneidade. Para realizar esta investiga??o se utilizar? das teorias de Arthur Coleman Danto e Maurice Merleau-Ponty sobre a arte. O m?todo a ser utilizado ? de leitura cr?tica de obras filos?ficas pertinentes ao assunto que esclare?am e permitam conex?es de pensamentos sobre o tema. Optou-se pela descri??o das teorias de Danto e Merleau-Ponty abordando suas interse??es e contribui??es para a quest?o apresentada sobre a transfigura??o do objeto em obra de arte. O conceito de interpreta??o que Danto produz juntamente com a teoria da percep??o de Merleau-Ponty s?o alvos de investiga??o da pesquisa. A coer?ncia interna do trabalho se conclui com uma pesquisa te?rica do estudo de caso da performance art?stica como ponto de converg?ncia entre ambas as teorias e o embasamento experiencial da import?ncia do questionamento que o estudo busca realizar. Sobre a performance art?stica a investiga??o se concentra, para fins metodol?gicos, nos conceitos de corpo, tempo, espa?o e p?blico.
