Abstract

Resumen: oncogrrls es un proyecto de creación artística, activación política y generación de conocimientos situados en torno a la experiencia oncológica junto a mujeres y disidentes de género. En el marco del laboratorio oncogrrrls llevado a cabo en Diciembre de 2016 en varias ciudades del Estado Español y en respuesta a las experiencias de aislamiento y desactivación afectiva/política/erótica, nos planteamos la pregunta: ¿Cómo podemos devenir más allá de la medicalización? Esta investigación, tomando el método PaR (practice as research) propio de los Estudios de Performance, usa pautas performativas como método y ofrenda. Estas pautas devienen invitaciones a erotizar, suavizar, enmarañar y ritualizar, así como a co-componer un vademécum poético; prácticas de ensayo para generar un onco-cuerpo múltiple, situado y relacional. Palabras clave: Cáncer, Performance, Práctica como Investigación, Ensayo, Activismo, Feminismo, Pautar, Erótica, Ritual. Abstract: oncogrrrls is an artistic, activist and situated knowledge-making project with women and queer individuals about the oncological experience. In the context of the laboratory-rehearsal held in several cities across Spain on December 2016, and in response to oncological experiences of isolation and affective/politic/erotic deactivation, we inquired: How can we become beyond medicalization? This research, grounded on the Performance Studies method PaR (Practice as Research), uses performative scores as method and offer. These scores become invitations to eroticize, soften, entangle and ritualize, as well as to co-compose a poetic vademecum; rehearsal practices to enact a situated, multiple and relational onco-body. Keywords: Cancer, Performance, Practice as Research, Rehearsal, Feminism, Activism, Scoring, Erotic, Ritual
