O teatro e a psicofísica do engajamento: o corpo na disseminação de competência em informação

Abstract

Emerged from the investigation of the use of lying as a political weapon, and advancing through the study of necessary corporal conditions for the conquest of critical information literacy, the research explores the world of specific knowledge from realist-based theater, identifying some concepts and techniques that are possibly been currently used for the imposition of belief in what is not true. That imposition is confirmed through an effort for the location of deliberate deceptive methods widely disseminated in human society, leading us towards the understanding that contemporary society is experiencing gradual widening of the space of doubt, in the limits between truth and lies. The conclusion of this work is that the capitalist activity, known to generate collective creativity through competition, and also, historically have always occupied all the available spaces for profit, settled itself in this borderline area, and widened the space of doubt as a side effect for the incessant expansion of value extraction. The theoretical framework for the proposed approach includes, in addition to the specific bibliography on realistic theater which includes, among others, Aristotle, Diderot and Stanislávski, also the most recent sources related to the Political Economy of Information, Communication and Culture, and in particular the concept of critical information literacy, both largely developed by researchers of the Graduate Program in Information Science IBICT / UFRJ.
