O corpo feminino e o Ritmo 0: uma perspectiva psicanalítica da performance de Marina Abramović

Abstract

This work analyzes Marina Abramović's performance "Rhythm 0," addressing the concepts of the female body from a psychoanalytic and sociocultural perspective. The research adopts a hermeneutic methodology, considering the Serbian artist's performance as a fragment of social reality for psychoanalytic interpretation. The study aims to explore the historical and cultural trajectory of the female figure in Western society and, based on Freudian and Lacanian theory, investigates the relationship between the body, the unconscious, and the sociocultural signifiers that permeate "Rhythm 0." The research highlights how the meanings attributed to the female body throughout history continue to influence contemporary representations, even in a context of feminist achievements. By transforming her body into an "object-body," Abramović creates a space for critical re-signification and questioning, fostering reflections on women's position in contemporary society and proposing interdisciplinary debates among subjectivity, culture, and psychoanalysis.
