Absence, Echoes of Silence, Language of the Invisible for Evanescent Body

This course aims to explore the complex interactions between the body, language and silence, through the prism of Roland Barthes' Fragments du discours amoureux. It invites participants to analyse the echoes left by absence, adopting an interdisciplinary approach. 

Major themes to be addressed include the deconstruction of the discourse of love, the notion of corporeity as trace and the dramaturgical dimension of absence, with a focus on how emptiness can be transformed into a space for artistic expression, highlighting how absence can contribute to creation. 

The course, conceived as a space for experimentation, will offer each participant the opportunity to develop a personal reflection, transforming unformulated emotional experiences into concrete works rich in meaning.

Active and regular participation in the course and presentation of a practical work in the last unit.
