This article is the result of PhD research in Communication and Semiotics at PUC (SP), with the cutout on the concept of Social Sculpture in the work of Joseph Beuys’ researchers such as Matthias Bunge and Caroline Tisdall as well as about the influence of Romantic philosophers as Schiller, Goethe, Hegel and Novalis in the construction of this concept in the work of Rudolf Steiner. The art context is discussed throughout art critics who analyze Beuys artwork, which communicational characteristics are presented in relation to Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varella and to the communication critic theory. Finally, the article presents the possibility of creative translation (Walter Benjamin, Georg Steiner and Haroldo de Campos) of this concept of Joseph Beuys.
