Body signals: "body speech acts", torn sensibilities and interstitial practices

Abstract

This issue of RELACES can be understood as the visibilization of two problematic fields, one related to the experiences/pains and the other related to the voices/expressions. In the first group, it is evident how the absences as structuring of presences, the sensibilities as shapers, pain made flesh and violence as language, inhabit and reconstruct the bodies/emotions. A landscape is set, painted with the colors of the lack of as organizer of life and hunger as testimony of said lack in weak bodies, of the adaptations and resistances of commodification that leads to the dispute for the gender marks, discomfort as destabilizing disruption of the productivity, enjoyment and violence as strategy of the fear to the diverse. It is revealed, in the second group, the contradictory and plural search of the hiatuses and breaks through a body that speaks when it is abandoned, of a body that is created in the impersonation and in the structuring power of the voices of bodies. They are bodies/emotions that testify how the multiple faces of abstinence as experience of the rupture of the social mandates are expressed in the lost of the fixation by mimetic consumerism; they testify how the body collage is elaborated in form of paradoxical vehicle of the representation of desire in what is public and they testify how the sound of life made flesh moves a colonized look through the crunch of bodies/emotions.
