Resumo: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The present work investigates, based on the foucautian
notion of the
constitution of the subjectivity, the practitioners of
extreme body marking such as
tattooing, piercing, scarification, branding, cutting,
suspension, among others. All
these practices concern the greater movement of Body
Modification. Each society
produces different standards for what the ideal body
should be according to the
patterns of beauty and the dominant values of each
particular time. Considering
that the body constructed by the practitioners of Body
Modification is divergent to
western culture standards, this study tries to show how
this perspective influences
not only those who use it but also how its presence in our
society has important
consequences. To do so the study began with an exposition
of Foucault´s notion
of power and how power relations invest the bodies
producing different forms of
subjectivity. A historic approach on body marking also
made it possible to
understand in which context the Body Modification Movement
and its
specificities appeared. The narrative of the individuals
who submit to these
practices was also taken in consideration, and the main
aspects of how they think
their experience is presented in this work. Agreeing with
Foucault´s premise that
subjectivity has its roots on the body, the Body Movement
is valued by the author
as a new form of subjectivity which can offer an
alternative for resistance in face
of the coercive mechanisms of power of our contemporaneity.
