Abstract
The investigation states that the landscape was repetitive in the visual testimonies of the Chilean military dictatorship. By landscape it comprises a visual, political and cultural construction, which gives space-reference density to the memory accounts. In this context, we distinguish a struggle of meanings: first, authoritarianism instrumented the landscape to convey the subterranean values and promoted the legitimacy of the regime. At the same time, the resistance generated denotative landscapes, in an accusatory-testimony key, which materialized in endless means. Specifically, a corpus composed of arpilleras and drawings in prison will be examined. Beyond its specificities, we propose that one of the main functions that brings together both sets is its use as a device of evidence and denunciation. Thus, we will try to recompose part of the dissident landscape by weaving together certain images that account for the spatial substrate of the events.
期刊介绍:
The choice of the name of the journal represents a farewell from the identification of aesthetics with hermeneutics and speculative philosophy of art. It also shows our strong commitment to the irreducibility of aesthetics to a mere psychological fact. The subtitle of the journal “practices, languages and knowledge concerning aesthetics” indicates the present, fertile pluralism of aesthetics. This is a pluralism of views and methods, often connected with the different ways in which contemporary arts and aesthetic abilities present and structure themselves. Also, it is a pluralism of thoughts and formulas, which induces to relativize the western tradition within which the discipline of aesthetics was born. Finally, it is a pluralism of epistemic landscapes, which also trespasses into the sphere of sensibility and art. These various, epistemic landscapes have recently experienced a revolutionary enlargement through the rise of some new or radically renewed disciplines (from neurosciences to anthropology, from cognitive sciences to psychobiology). Indeed, we conceive Aisthesis as a public space where those different approaches and disciplines can interact.
