The unpredictable movements of the living: revisiting the Butlerian performativity
In the present text I am interested in problematizing the figure of being alive in relation to the idea of movement. I would like to suggest that life, what happens in the encounter with the others seems to be linked to the idea of what is not in a state of stillness, an action whose unpredictabilit...

Canseco, Alberto movement performativity being alive desnaturalization Judith Butler movimiento performatividad vivo desnaturalización Judith Butler In the present text I am interested in problematizing the figure of being alive in relation to the idea of movement. I would like to suggest that life, what happens in the encounter with the others seems to be linked to the idea of what is not in a state of stillness, an action whose unpredictability is not only in its effects, but in the execution itself and in the movements that execution entails. In this way, a reflection seems necessary that accounts for how this unpredictability can be signaled inasmuch as there is a pretension to regulate the movement, one that can be more or less successful. In effect, certain artistic performances depend on the transgression of these regulations to operate effectively in the denaturalization of certain social rituals. In this regard, it is interesting to recover some reflections about the idea of gender performativity proposed by Judith Butler, which allow us to think of a process of denaturalization in terms of movement of something that was supposed to be in a state of stillness, the "truth of gender ", or in the transgression of the norms that govern the movements articulated by the heterosexual matrix. En el presente texto me interesa problematizar la figura de lo vivo en relación a la idea de movimiento. Quisiera sugerir que lo vital, aquello que sucede en el encuentro con l*s otr*s parece estar ligado a la idea de lo que no se encuentra en estado de quietud, una acción cuya imprevisibilidad está no solo en sus efectos, sino en su ejecución misma y en los movimientos que esa ejecución supone. De este modo, parece necesaria una reflexión que dé cuenta de cómo esta imprevisibilidad puede señalarse en la medida en que hay una pretensión de regulación del movimiento, una que puede ser más o menos exitosa. De la transgresión de esas regulaciones, en efecto, es que dependen ciertas performances artísticas para operar de manera eficaz en la desnaturalización de determinados rituales sociales. En este sentido es que parece interesante recuperar algunas reflexiones en torno a la idea de performatividad de género propuesta por Judith Butler, la cual permite pensar un proceso de desnaturalización en términos de movimiento de algo que se suponía en estado de quietud, la “verdad de género”, o en la transgresión de las normas que rigen los movimientos articulados por la matriz heterosexual.
