A sociedade do cansaço e a resistência contemplativa através da fotografia

Abstract

This research (financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brazil (CAPES) – Finance Code 001), linked to the research line Processo de Criação e Poéticas do Cotidiano, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Artes Visuais da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, deals with the need for a more contemplative life experience as opposed to the speed of stimuli and demands in contemporaneity having, such experience, sensitive relationship with the process of perception and creation in photography that I call Inspanded Photography. I searched, through Inspanded Photography, to link contemplative attitude, perception and artistic expression and micropolitics action in order to develop an ecosófico device (Guattari, 1989) that puts itself at the service of the possibility of a better relationship between human beings and themselves, another and the environment in which he lives. During the research process, buddhist zen philosophy and, more specifically, the practice of meditation and microinterventive pedagogical practices, workshops held during the research were of paramount importance for the development of concepts and experiences related to Inspanded Photography. The theoretical and imaginary references that accompanied me in the course of this landscape under construction/deconstruction were, among others: Byung-Chul Han, Henri Bergson, Félix Guattari, Gilles Deleuze, Giorgio Agamben, Alan Watts, Philippe Dubois, Masao Yamamoto, Trungpa Rinpoche, Martin Heidegger, William Eggleston, etc.
