Description
Summary:The following work seeks to understand the relationship between cinema as a passer of reality and the use of the body as a tool in Pedro Lemebel’s performance. For this, use is made of the documentary film "Lemebel" where it is shown and found between art and artist. Since, it is presented as a subject, product and artistic production through its body, "political body" that denounces systemic violence during the military dictatorship in Chile in the 80’s towards marginalized sexual dissidents. And, on the other hand, it seeks to vindicate the term "colisa" referring to "faggots sudacas" differentiating them from "gays". To carry out the above, use is made of the real, symbolic and imaginary registers, to then make a tour of the notion of real within Lacan’s work. So, later on, the real is related to art and the use of the body in performance art.
