SUMMARY:

This work aims to trace the paths of the construction of memory and oblivion of Luz del Fuego, a Brazilian artist who became known as a public figure through her performances in revue theaters during the 1950s. In addition to analyzing the disputes surrounding the construction of her image and the intentions behind the revival of her figure in both virtual and physical spaces, the dancer's discourse and self-narratives in her literary works and documentary are also objects of investigation. In the analysis of the sources A Verdade Nua and Trágico Blackout, it is evident that del Fuego understood the use of nudity beyond mere viewer pleasure, as a political action and expression of her sexuality. The research hypothesis is that Luz del Fuego gave meaning to her nudity, making it a daily experience, an idealization of life, and not just an artistic resource or seduction tool. Lastly, the study sought to elucidate some of the meanings attributed to public nudity and how the revival of the memory of a "rebel body" allows for the artist's association with discussions and even the popularization of contemporary feminist ideals, through the lens of certain "transgressions" regarding the space and time that were observed.
