Abstract

This article presents and discusses the concept of movement aesthetics. It starts with reflections on the aesthetic sense in existential-phenomenological psychotherapy and discusses the process of psychotherapy as a result of the construction of an aesthetic sense that goes beyond speech. Jean-Paul Sartre's reflections on Alberto Giacometti's art are the theoretical support for the presentation of the aesthetic concept of movement, in an attempt to contribute to the phenomenological-existential psychotherapy. This is a theoretical study that is based on data from the master's dissertation of one of the authors, which proposed a dialogue between the Sartrian phenomenological ontology and the notion of body in gestalt therapy. The dissertation work cited discusses, among other things, the methodological contributions of existential psychoanalysis and the Sartrian progressive-regressive method. Here, such a methodological discussion is reached when presenting the notion of aesthetics of movement.Keywords: Esthetic of Movement; Phenomenological-Existential Psychotherapy; Progressive-regressive method; Jean-Paul Sartre; Alberto Giacometti

Summary

Introduction

This article presents and discusses the concept of movement aesthetics. It starts with reflections on the aesthetic sense in existential­phenomenological psychotherapy and discusses the process of psychotherapy as a result of the construction of an aesthetic sense that goes beyond speech. Tal qual a pintura de Cézanne, onde os traços e contornos variados podem ser definidos como fronteiras permeáveis, onde a arte registra muito menos do que aquilo que os sentidos do pintor puderam captar, mas a própria linguagem real da natureza, as nuances do natural (MERLEAU­PONTY, 1980), numa psicoterapia fenomenológico­existencial há uma busca pelo movimento do ser.
