Abstract

The present work proposes a discussion about the flow of aesthetic-political concepts between the film O Rei do Cagaço, by Edgard Navarro, with three works by the Portuguese-Brazilian visual artist Artur Barrio, specifically Trouxas de Sangue, Livro Carne and 21 Petites Sculptures en Cheveux. The article starts, primarily, from a reflection based on assumptions of a new Brazilian avant-garde to be built through a break with the classic molds of artistic making throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Reading texts by authors such as Décio Pignatari, Frederico Morais and Hélio Oiticica, it is noted, for example, that there is an excessive, but fortuitous, idea of having the body as the protagonist of this avant-garde proposal. Then, a perusal of the concept of the uncanny valley will be carried out, derived from a study by the Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori here adapted for the field of aesthetics. Analyzing, in this way, the precepts cited here, we seek to understand how both Barrio and Navarro work the human body through the repulsive and the scatological and, at the same time, how they make these artistic expressions of their acts, above all, political ones.
