Abstract

Bodies are fabricated through symbolic performances, taking restored behavior, Kraft (affections) and a performed and dynamic Weltanschauung. I focus on communicational aspect of bodies in fieldwork with Grupo Sonhus Teatro Ritual (Goiânia – GO, 2016-2017). My participant observation performance encompasses learning the group's craft. I proposed a concept: symbol-body, along with a Weltanschauung, and beyond the dichotomy between body and mind. Perceptions are taken as actions here, and so are discourses. Such bodies seek to transform their environment and this paper wants: a) to show how a performative framework of analysis can help and b) to expand the ways we understand bodies and communication.
