| Summary: | Between essay, autobiography and fiction, the work Ó (2008), by Brazilian plastic artist and writer Nuno Ramos, tracks several hypotheses, explorations and discourses about the living and its material configurations, cardinal concern of a relevant zone of contemporary Latin American literature. Experimentation becomes the force of a writing that involves itself in a production of the common understood as invention of associations between bodies, collective modes of life and shared languages that defy imperatives imposed by mechanisms of power and capital. The work by Ramos unfolds a conjectural and indeterminate knowledge about the body and its relational power that likewise leads to elaborate a novel conception of language focused on its dense materiality.
