Anthropologies, arts and politics

Abstract

In this paper, our proposal was to produce a state of art on the anthropological reflection about artistic practices with political engagement, and to generating dialogues with research projects that engage with the several forms of relation that can be established between the phenomena, experiences, practices, and concepts on artistic political-based gestures, starting from recent events. We understand the relationship between art, politics, and anthropology from a non-hierarchization or non-dependency of one field upon another. We propose to our readership a horizontal look at this conceptual triangle: we understand there are different possibilities to think anthropologically, to practice art, and to make politics.
