The interior spaces in contemporary art works: the anthropology of phenomenology from Merleau-Ponty

Abstract

This research began with reading the book The modern space
Alberto Tassinari. The text adopted as a systemic approach methodology, aiming to reflect on the internal spaces into works of art to analyze them as potential anthropological tools from Merleau-Pontian phenomenology. It was evident that the images occur in the space between the transmission and
perception, not existing by themselves, but going on, and the relationship of images and their manifestations in the visual arts, it was considered Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Hans Belting aesthetics as they conceptualize aisthesis, what is sensitive to the body and is born of the senses. Was named as a
manifestation of aesthetic visual schemes that change historically through the creation of new techniques and technologies that act as extensions or prostheses
of the organic body of men, increasing their power of apprehension of the sensible qualities presented to the senses. Artistic works were analyzed, including the caves of Lascaux to works by contemporary artists, making an analogy to the geographical concepts of Milton Santos, where the Fixed /
System Objects in the works would be its external spaces and flows/systems form their spaces Actions internal or territories. Flows were fixed and constituents of perceptual faith-Merleau-Pontian, and the manifestation of this faith is manifested in perceptual-regimes of visuality. The paper proposes the use of internal spaces of the art as a tool for anthropological spaces and territories related to the organic body of man in communion with the carnal world, aisthesis.
