SOLIS PEREZ, Marlene Celia  y  JUAREZ FLORES, Patricio. The Poetics of Pleasantness: A Relational Dance Project and Artifact of Feminine Resignification. Culturales [online]. 2023, vol.11, e738.  Epub 11-Sep-2023. ISSN 2448-539X.  https://doi.org/10.22234/recu.20231101.e738.

The objective of this article is to present an analysis of the relational dance project The poetics of pleasantness, considering that this creative process and the product constitute an artifact of feminine resignification and a personal transformative rite, given that this scenic proposal elaborates with criticism on pleasantness as a mandate of hegemonic femininity. We propose that this initiative is inserted in the recent feminist approaches about care, the need for personal deconstruction and the formation of an affective community among women. Based on a qualitative methodology, the video art of the work as the interviews with the participants in the project are analyzed. The conclusions suggest that the symbolic efficacy of the scenic proposal resides in its congruence with feminist stakes and in the representation of a feminine ethos built collectively during the creation process.
