O arquivo como ressurgimento: Notas para uma estética globular

Starting from the contemporary relationship between archive and dance, a path is traced that identifies and makes explicit two modes of archiving – the static and the performative – to suggest the inclusion of another approach: that of the archive as resurgence. The article adopts an exploratory scope, based on the author’s encounter with the object of analysis both as an organizer and participant in archival events centered on deceased creators. Based on an unconven- tional theoretical framework, (Field Theory and Rupert Sheldrake’s Theory of Morphic Fields), the idea defended is that in the archive a spatio-temporal field is activated between the bodies, which condenses an experience of re-presentification of the absent person. Memories open among the participants, affective states resonate, ideas emerge and are contami- nated and disseminated beyond a linear space-time. The artefacts and archival devices thus serve as a hologrammatic background, constituting a globular aesthetic experience, that is, based on reflections of existence, from which a whole once lived is reconstructed. This mode of archiving - narrative, energetic and synchronistic - reconstitutes the vibrating function of the dancing body that thus becomes art, overcoming its (feared) primary ephemerality.
