description In this essay, I attempt to illustrate a historic moment in 'Afro' Argentina (re)emergency, characterized by an incremental use of racialization criteria and its projection in social and institutional relations, as it is experiencing today. I believe we are attending the first stage of outcomes corresponding to a late Multiculturalism (Parody, 2016a), deployed under the umbrella of inclusive national policy that today it seems to go in reverse. Nevertheless, the new configurations of subjectivity and the diversification in the field of academic work seem to be able to join their flow to a genuine stream of changes which would be taking place in the field of production and dissemination of knowledge, in spite of being unprecedented - or being unacceptable to pre-existing sectors of this field. Categories previously applied to 'agents' and 'actors' - and the 'habitus' and 'status' that they are consistent with- are thus challenged, generating processes which, in the name of progress, seem to add sophistication to the implicit violence that derives from the colonial analogy appealed by the academy, as this turns to be performative in respect of activism, and vice versa. New masks provide a change of roles - and an extensive series of investments - without the mechanisms of the coloniality being affected, but exacerbated. The new scenarios of construction and dissemination of knowledge are thus hampered thanks to the lack of an interdisciplinary modality and, at the same time, plural conducive to collaborative work among sectors. In such a process, the interstitial subject, who is currently the condition of subalternity, is denied in favor of the growing racial enrollment criteria. I begin to expose all this, then, from my own experience between art and scientific research.

En este pequeño ensayo intento graficar un momento histórico de la (re)emergencia ‘afrodescendiente’ en Argentina, caracterizado por el incremento de los criterios de racialización y su respectiva proyección en las relaciones sociales e institucionales, tal como es el caso contemporáneo. Estimo estar asistiendo a una primera etapa de resultados de situación correspondientes con un multiculturalismo tardío instalado bajo el manto de una política nacional inclusiva que hoy ha entrado en retroceso. Aun así, las nuevas configuraciones de subjetividad y la diversificación de trayectorias académicas que durante este ciclo estuvieron dadas, parecieran poder sumar su caudal a una corriente genuina de cambios que en materia de producción y difusión del conocimiento se estarían produciendo, muy a pesar de resultar esto inédito -o inaceptable- a sectores pre existentes de este campo. Categorías anteriormente aplicadas a ‘agentes’ y ‘actores’ –y los ‘habitus’ y ‘estatus’ que a ellas son consecuentes- se ven así desafiadas, generando procesos que, en nombre de conseguir avances, más bien parecieran sofisticar la violencia implícita que se deriva de la analogía colonial recurrida por la academia, en tanto la misma resulta performativa respecto del activismo, y viceversa. Nuevas máscaras facilitan un cambio de roles -y una serie extensa de inversiones- sin que los mecanismos propios de la colonialidad se vean afectados, sino más bien recrudecidos. Los nuevos escenarios de construcción y divulgación de conocimiento se ven así obstaculizados gracias a la falta de una modalidad interdisciplinaria y a la vez plural que conduzca al trabajo colaborativo entre sectores. Es negado, en tal proceso, el sujeto intersticial, que es quien reviste actualmente la condición de subalternidad, en favor de los criterios crecientes de inscripción racial. Parto para exponer todo ello de mi propia experiencia entre el arte y la investigación científica.
