Abstract

The article appropriates both anthropological discussions and those coming from other disciplinary fields such as art history and philosophy to reflect on politics and poetics related to gender performances, having as analysis material some works by artists Marcel Duchamp and, especially, Michel Journiac. To do so, I first resume a series of theoretical elaborations on costume and clothing in relation to the
body. Subsequently, I discuss issues related to practices of cross-dressing
and to experiences that address gender issues in the artistic field. Finally, I analyze inextricable relations between clothes, body and possibilities of life and transition/transmutation in order to propose politics and poetics
that do not operate by the determinations of the psi sciences, generally triggered to erect concepts about the practice of cross-dressing.
