I10-R10-article-245272019-12-23T14:11:59Z Race, national culture and anticolonials heterotopías in mexican (in)documentado by Guillermo Gómez-Peña Raza, cultura nacional y heterotopías anticoloniales en mexican (in)documentado de Guillermo Gómez-Peña Silva Cantoni, Marcelo race-raciality-nation-colonialism-heterotopias raza-racialidad-nación-colonialismo-heterotopías This paper proposes a reading of the work of performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña, particularly of the Mexican (In) Documentado (2017) that took place in 2017 at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City. We analyze some of the records of its most representative actions. Our reading approaches mainly on how certain racial constructions are questioned and problematized, along with a national imaginary and narratives that justify and enable exclusionary practices and discourses in the United States, or in Latin America. We attend to a study of the “archive” (Taylor) of Gómez-Peña's actions as counter-discourses and resistance practices against a racist system that he recognizes as colonialist. We start from the hypothesis that his artistic actions promote the creation of spaces of autonomy and resistance that, from a Foucaultian reading, we recognize as "anti-colonial heterotopias". This spaces are political places of enunciation from which it is possible to dismantle certain narratives, regimes of visibility, devices and imaginary that respond to a colonial system. For our argumentation, we return to contributions and readings of different critical theories of colonialism. El presente trabajo propone una lectura de la obra del artista de performance Guillermo Gómez-Peña, particularmente de la exposición retrospectiva (Mexican (In)Documentado) que tuvo lugar en el año 2017 en el Museo de Arte Moderno de la Ciudad de México. Analizamos algunos de los registros de sus acciones más representativas, expuestos como instalación interactiva en el museo. Nuestro foco de atención radica principalmente en cómo, desde dichos registros, se cuestionan y problematizan ciertas construcciones raciales, junto con imaginarios y narrativas de nación que justifican y habilitan prácticas y discursos de exclusión sobre sujetos subalternos, como los migrantes latinos en Estados Unidos, o los pueblos indígenas en los Estado-nación latinoamericanos. Atendemos a un estudio del archivo (Taylor) de las performances de Gómez-Peña como contradiscursos y prácticas de resistencia frente a un sistema racista que reconocemos como continuador del colonialismo. Partimos de la hipótesis de que dichas acciones artísticas promueven la creación de espacios de autonomía y resistencia que, desde una lectura foucaultiana, reconocemos como “heterotopías anticoloniales”, los cuales se constituyen como lugares políticos de enunciación desde donde es posible desmontar ciertas narrativas, regímenes de visibilidad, dispositivos e imaginarios que responden a un ordenamiento colonial. Para nuestra argumentación, retomamos aportes y lecturas de distintas teorías críticas al colonialismo, sostenidas por autores y autoras proveniente en su mayoría del “sur global”.
