The redistribution of agency in contemporary artistic practices Interrupciones e interferencias multiespecie. La redistribución de la agencia en algunas prácticas artísticas contemporáneas Materia , Colectiva Posthuman materialism Nature Multispecific configuration Materialismo posthumano Naturaleza Configuración multiespecífica From the point of view of contemporary philosophy, the notion of agency has served both as an indication of the anchoring point of the notion of the human in an anthropological project that has it as its foundation, and also, more recently, as an operator of a renewal of the languages of relationality inherent to the modes of existence that inhabit the earth. In the latter sense, collaborative modes of existence have come to the fore not only in the elaborations on what exists in general (ontological perspective) but also in artistic practices in particular, especially insofar as they are focused on underlining, imagining and/or contesting the relations between the human and the non-human in the explicit context of environmental emergence anxieties. Our aim is to review some aesthetic devices produced in the Latin American context which, concerned with the configuration of worlds that include the living, often advance or assume a certain notion of "nature". This hesitancy between different concepts of the natural (either in its totalising versions or in its specific alternatives) provides an opportunity to map a zone of current tensions regarding the way in which the living is embedded, inserted, interferes with or interrupts a particular anthropocentric manner in which the art/artifice/nature relationship is conceived. Desde el punto de vista de la filosofía contemporánea, la noción de agencia ha servido tanto como indicio del punto de anclaje de la noción de lo humano en un proyecto antropológico que lo tiene como fundamento, como así también, y más recientemente, como operador de una renovación de los lenguajes de la relacionalidad inherente a los modos de existencia que pueblan la tierra. En este último sentido, los modos de existencia colaborativos han pasado al primer plano tanto en las consideraciones acerca de lo que existe en general (perspectiva ontológica), como en las prácticas artísticas en particular, sobre todo en cuanto estas se abocan a subrayar, imaginar y/o impugnar las relaciones entre lo humano y lo no humano en el contexto explícito de preocupaciones ligadas a la emergencia ambiental. Nuestro objetivo es revisar algunos dispositivos estéticos producidos en el contexto latinoamericano que, interesados por configurar mundos que incluyan lo viviente, suelen proponer o suponer alguna noción de “naturaleza”. Las vacilaciones entre diferentes conceptos de lo natural (ya sea en sus versiones totalizantes, ya sea en sus alternativas específicas) será la oportunidad para mapear una zona de tensiones actual en torno a la forma en que lo viviente se incrusta, inserta, interfiere o interrumpe un cierto modo antropocéntrico de concebir la relación arte/artificio/naturaleza.
