Ficciones disidentes en la tierra de la misoginia de LOPEZ, MIGUEL A. en pdf

This book brings together nine critical essays on artistic periods that developed between the sixties and the present day. In them, the author explores experiences that can be understood as a stance against the misogyny and homophobia prevalent in contemporary Peru. Divided into three thematic axes («Antipatriarchal Poetics», «War, transfeminisms and sexual dissidences», and «Representation Politics»), the articles analyze the work of Teresa Burga, Elena Tejada-Herrera, Grupo Chaclacayo, Jaime Higa, Natalia Iguiñiz and Giuseppe Campuzano, among others, trace the genealogy of aesthetic-affective resistances, and propose alternative models of cultural valorization. The essays also highlight how the devaluation of the work of women artists and bodies that defy gender is a reflection of a society where femicides, transphobic attacks, and forms of violent gender-based violence unfold daily. The power of the artistic stages examined here lies not only in their way of pointing out inequality and criticizing injustice, but also in their capacity to make the silenced heard, to develop forms of recognition and healing, and to restore social relationships. Ultimately, these are artistic experiences that seek to expand our possibilities of living in the world.
