Starting from the image of the "bullet in the heart," proposed by Paul B. Preciado (2020), it is understood that the experience of sexual dissidence leaves deep marks, but also opens up the possibility of creating other worlds and other ways of living. In dialogue with Paco Vidarte (2019), the research understands bixa ethics as a collective commitment to transform the vulnerability and failure imposed by the norm into political and community power. These perspectives approach the Foucaultian notion of aesthetics of existence, in which life ceases to be merely an object of norms to become a work in permanent creation, and Suely Rolnik's (2016) cartography, understood as tracking the processes of subjectivity production and the affects that cross the body. Methodologically, the research articulates cartography with letter writing, assuming the researcher's body as a territory of experience and knowledge production. The study engages with the fields of dance, performance, philosophy, and psychology, intertwining autobiographical experiences, artistic references, and dialogues with bixa artists to investigate how artistic practices can produce modes of existence that deviate from the norm. Structured into chapters, the study explores the autobiographical experience of the constitution of the bixa body, develops its conceptual foundation grounded in the aesthetics of existence, establishes epistolary exchanges with intersecting artists, and concludes by reflecting on the bixa body as a collective production of life. It is argued that assuming the mark of difference, rather than concealing it, transforms violence into a creative gesture, turning the bixa body into a territory of invention, resistance, and the fabulation of other possible futures. 2025-09-23T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/49717 Title: Movimento em foco: a dança como ferramenta terapêutica no desenvolvimento de crianças autistas Abstract: This study investigates dance as a complementary tool in the therapeutic treatment of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), based on the understanding of movement as a fundamental element for cognitive, motor, sensory, and socioemotional development. The research emerges from my personal experience as a family member of an autistic child, combined with my background in dance, motivating a reflection on the potential contributions of the arts to therapeutic contexts. To support this discussion, the study establishes a dialogue with three approaches that use movement as a central axis of intervention: the Movement Method, Equine-Assisted Therapy, and the Feldenkrais Method. The adopted methodology is based on qualitative content analysis, developed through a literature review and conversations with professionals from the investigated fields, aiming to understand how such practices may contribute to the development of autistic children. Throughout the research, the relationship between body, brain, and learning is discussed, considering aspects such as body awareness, emotional regulation, and social interaction. The study concludes that dance, when integrated with existing therapeutic methods, can enhance developmental processes and quality of life, configuring itself as an important complementary resource in the support of autistic children. 2026-03-20T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48935 Title: Reflexões entre a improvisação em dança e o inconsciente: diálogos a partir de uma perspectiva psicanalítica do psicossoma e o processo de simbolização 2025-05-12T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48930 Title: Lampejos de escrita: criação de "Um sutil espetáculo luminoso" 2024-04-08T00:00:00Z
