Topografías corporales en Antioquia, cartografías de sí en torno a la guerra guerra y la paz

Journal Title: Revista Académica Estesis - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5

Abstract

In this paper, I present the elaboration, which is the result of a question about the body asked in the first person singular. It is a reflection of oneself under the assumption that war has needed some bodies formed and disciplined in specific ways. The body is shaped from language and represents the ideals of a culture. The body, as a historical construction, is a text to be interpreted and mapped from phenomenological and critical exercises. Then, I present the systematizations of two current experiences as a movement that allows symbolic constructions. I base this text on a family history reading, and how its agents have constituted the body; my ancestors’ experiences. Data are put together in a narrative plot structure that ends with current ethical positions in movement. I explore different literary works and find a body that goes from the force of progress, the destructive and violent men and the kind, strong and maternal women, to a fitness body, which symbolically begins to have productive loss and becomes a consumer. At this point, art and community become languages for the re-existence.
