Abstract

The objective of this work is to demonstrate that deconstructing, disarming and reflecting on the category of human, established from an almost universal anthropic principle, it is possible to think of a disanthropic turn that allows us to reconfigure and promote, from the revision of some artistic and visual practices. , other corporalities, identities and enunciative breaks that can encourage other -more respectful- links that challenge and are faithful to the contemporary social and cultural climate.These relationships make possible another type of articulation of man with the planet, of the human with other non-human lives, because it is dislocated from that anthropic centrality that makes it dictate the norm.In the first section, we will present a state of the art about the relationship nature, body, norm and dissidence, in a second section, we will explore the photographic work of Madalena Schwartz "Las metamorfosis" - presented at the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires in collaboration with the Moreira Salles Institute of Brazil - linking it with that hegemonic discourse on the duty of the body and of the human being in a scenario of repression.In a third part, entitled emancipations, we will reflect on some possibilities to promulgate reciprocal social and human consciences that would be possible from the deconstruction and emptying of the idea of the human in contemporary society.
