Abstract

The present essay advances a description of a specific poetics of the body, which appeared in the late 1950s by the vanguard group Neoconcreto (Neoconcrete). Such a body was invested of a transgressive power through a series of exhibitive protocols and participation. Such a body model became a very productive discursive matrix along the following years.
