MARTA, Jorge Ponciano Ribeiro  and  OLIVEIRA, Azevedo Klumb. Social nudity and the body reclothed in the gestalt perspective. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.3, pp. 267-277. ISSN 1809-6867.

This paper discusses the experiences of social nudity and body cover up in order to expand awareness about oneself and about the world from a look of Gestalt Approach. Considering the creation of a field, as a living space, where the person can deal with his/her "world of consciousness", experimenting and experiencing their own experiences. It takes the concept of body-own Merleau-Ponty as a reference for dialogue with diverse conceptions of Gestalt Approach such as figure-ground, awareness, field, contact, organismic self-regulation and creative adjustment. It also presents the experience of nudism as a path of convergence between people. It brings awareness that people, nature and the planet are interconnected and form a living, indivisible and organized whole. Lastly, it states that the relational reality in a naturalism camp is produced by psychological and non-psychological. Linking the feeling of connection with peace variables such as the tranquility and joy of simply existing in the 'now' is the phenomenal reality experienced by naturist.

Keywords : Social nudity; Creative adjustment; Gestalt-therapy; Phenomenology.
