In this audacious book, Ana María Ochoa Gautier explores how listening has been central to the production of notions of language, music, voice, and sound that determine the politics of life. Drawing primarily from nineteenth-century Colombian sources, Ochoa Gautier locates sounds produced by different living entities at the juncture of the human and nonhuman. Her "acoustically tuned" analysis of a wide array of texts reveals multiple debates on the nature of the aural. These discussions were central to a politics of the voice harnessed in the service of the production of different notions of personhood and belonging. In Ochoa Gautier's groundbreaking work, Latin America and the Caribbean emerge as a historical site where the politics of life and the politics of expression inextricably entangle the musical and the linguistic, knowledge and the sensorial.
In The Politics of Taste Ana María Reyes examines the works of Colombian artist Beatriz González and Argentine-born art critic, Marta Traba, who championed González's art during Colombia's National Front coalition government (1958–74). During this critical period in Latin American art, artistic practice, art criticism, and institutional objectives came into strenuous yet productive tension. While González’s triumphant debut excited critics who wanted to cast Colombian art as modern, sophisticated, and universal, her turn to urban lowbrow culture proved deeply unsettling. Traba praised González's cursi (tacky) recycling aesthetic as daringly subversive and her strategic localism as resistant to U.S. cultural imperialism. Reyes reads González's and Traba's complex visual and textual production and their intertwined careers against Cold War modernization programs that were deeply embedded in the elite's fear of the masses and designed to avert Cuban-inspired revolution. In so doing, Reyes provides fresh insights into Colombia's social anxieties and frustrations while highlighting how interrogations of taste became vital expressions of the growing discontent with the Colombian state.
Pensar el arte hoy: el cuerpo
by Sanabria Bohórquez, Carlos Eduardo, Corral Cuartas, Álvaro, Salas Guerra, María Cecilia, Chaverra Brand, Ángela María, Rojas López, Manuel Bernardo
2015 · Editorial Tadeo Lozano
Tanto en la producción artística como teórica y académica de las últimas décadas, es claro el interés y el esfuerzo por dar cuenta del cuerpo. Y en parte tal notoriedad corresponde a las diversas críticas a la tradición metafísica occidental llevadas a cabo, en distintos campos de la cultura, por Nietzsche, Marx y Freud. Quizá no es el caso tanto de que el cuerpo no haya estado presente en el pensamiento occidental hasta mediados del siglo XIX e inicios del siglo XX; más bien se trata de que efectivamente sí ha estado presente, pero en las maneras defectivas y negativas propias de la metafísica en las configuraciones del platonismo, el cristianismo y el cartesianismo. Es decir, el cuerpo sí ha sido central en las formas de pensamiento prescriptivo de la tradición occidental, pero a la manera de su identificación con la fuente del error, el engaño y la inmoralidad. Y, consecuentemente, los correctivos prescritos llevan al disciplinamiento, obliteración y negación del cuerpo, y al privilegio de su contraparte espiritual, racional e inmaterial.
