Description
Summary:In this essay we address Beckttian performative writing based on Gerd Bornheim’s interpretations. The author of Waiting for Godot, looking for a new gesture for his language, re-placesimportant aesthetic-political questions, such as: the perception of space and time’s intuitions, body (i)mobility and (in)communicability in the arts. In this way, we seek to understand the cultural reverberations of this dramaturgical experience, by analyzing a Bornheim’s unpublished typescript entitled “Beckett and the meanings of gerund”. This reading will be complemented by highlights present in Bornheim's publications on Theater and on Philosophy of Art, as well as by some writings by Ruggero Jaccobi,Luiz Carlos Maciel, Paulo Leminski, Fábio Souza Andrade, among others.
