CITY IMAGES IN THE CONTEMPORARY SCENE
Aesthetics, politics, occupation, city, literature.
In the act of “taking a ride”, young pixadores go out to enjoy the city they know in detail in order to leave their marks on the walls, surfaces and tops of buildings (CALDEIRA, 2014). Wouldn't our other contemporary artists and writers be doing the same within this logic of an occupation that involves the risk and the desire to build narratives, and other brands, that build not only their own inscription in the city, but another form of city in the city? which they (artists and art) are not disposable and are, why not say, indispensable? These artists, to some extent, tension the space of the city and the artistic field insofar as they occupy them aesthetically and politically. In times of crisis, the cultural field has become a space of resistance and insurgency, not abstaining from its aesthetic and political force. In view of this, the present research proposes to think about contemporary production from the ideas of occupation and tension from other uses of space, especially urban and artistic. Artistic productions are put on stage, such as poems, performances and cinematographic productions that, appearing in the present, provoke our time and propose to re-semanticize the city that presents itself as ambiguous, enigmatic, labyrinthine, fragmented. From them we have the materialization of the end of metanarratives and the writing of noises, of remains, as insurgent aesthetics.
