Abstract

PARAGUAI, Luisa  and  AMARAL, Beatriz Fernandes Pinheiro do. The smells in Teresa Margolles's marginal narratives. Estúdio [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.25, pp.98-104. ISSN 1647-6158.

From the art works "Vaporización" (2001-2003) and "En el aire" (2002-2003) by Teresa Margolles, the sense of smell is assumed in this text as a guiding principle that materializes the death and erasure of the victims. The poetic operation is discussed as a scientific exercise, a deodorization process, which approximates Corbin's (1987) "olfactory revolution" of the "civilizing process" (Elias, 1993) to formalize contemporary social functions and their modes of exclusion.

Keywords : smells and narratives; cities and social territories; instauration and scientism.
