Abstract

This work aims to approach the concept of social gestus in Bertolt Brecht’s work, with a special focus on the relationship between his theory of the epic theater and his concatenated prose writings in Stories of Mr. Keuner. In considering artistic production as an experimental laboratory of (dis)assembling significant details, the boundaries between art forms and life forms are diluted in a reinvention of the language technique. In addition, by taking history as a montage, on the road contrary to classical historicism, it destabilizes epistemological paradigms of art history to think of art constructed from the survival of images - gestus.
