The dramaturgic body

The present work has the purpose of thinking about the term dramaturgy which is commonly associated to the written text (and, therefore to literature), from a scene view. We shall study the text constructions that are farther and farther away from the figure of traditional authors that are called, among lots of names, Dramaturgies of the scene. Inside of this concept of expanded dramaturgy, the interest is particulary set on the investigation of the dramaturgy of the actor, which is tackled as the dramaturgy of the body. It will be observed how the agreements, the approaches and the techniques have been modified in relation to the body of the actor in scene, to arrive at the present situation of an emancipated body which has the autonomy to generate scenic text, and in which the actor, as a phenomenal body present himself without any masking challenging the limits of the representation.
