Abstract

The academic literature on drawing practice in contemporaneity is scarce. In particular, a bibliographic review would reveal certain deficiencies in the theoretical analysis of the disegno process within the framework of new textual conceptions. Thus, this text aims to offer an analytical and hermeneutic approach to graphic creation within the technologic era, in order to examine the relevance of investigating artistic practice as a method of empirical research regarding the connection between abstract processes and corporeality. It is argued that a transdisciplinary analytical-comparative methodology, encompassing areas such as graphic thinking and media theory, would facilitate the initiation of a reconfiguration in the approach towards current media, technique, and artistic creation. Through authors like Merleau-Ponty and Haraway, our purpose will be to analyze part of the emerging dimension of the creative process. Ultimately, the objective posed as a horizon seeks to define and to reclaim the ontological state preceding the formalization of static and fixed drawing. In other words, the fluid materiality that the notion of 'drawing in process' would embody.
