I10-R361-article-253132023-03-02T18:45:00Z Let’s imagine Latin America, it always looks alike Imaginemos Latinoamérica, siempre se parece. Reflexiones sobre lo que consideramos político y sus afecciones a nuestro territorio. Isidori, Julia imaginario Latinoamérica contexto política marginalidad imaginary context politics Latin America marginality This article questions the influence art has in the process of construction social imaginaries around a territory. Specifically on the Latin American one, we observe that works of the last decades have fed, for example, the fluid association of art and politics, and the almost forced anchoring to temporalities more past than present.For that reason, we evoke four artistic projects that have been exhibited with emphasis in their Latin American being to ask what this categorization is due to, and what consequences it brings for the imaginary constructions of Latin America.In the first part we will question the particular univocity in homologging the term "political" to that of "resistance", just as the word "Latin American" usually refferes non-territorial characteristics but social and temporal ones, marked by a particular historiographic past.In a second place, we will record some effects of this, for example, the confirmation of marginality, the complicity with exhibition circuits placed in influential territorialities, and the establishment of politics as an obligatory command in the production of "Latin American art". Este artículo se pregunta por la injerencia que tiene el arte en la construcción de imaginarios sociales acerca de un territorio. Específicamente sobre el latinoamericano, observamos que las obras de las últimas décadas han alimentado, por ejemplo, la asociación fluida del arte y la política, y el anclaje casi obligado a temporalidades siempre más pasadas que presentes.Por eso, evocamos cuatro proyectos artísticos que han sido exhibidos con hincapié en su carácter de latinoamericanos, para preguntarnos a qué se debe esa categorización y qué consecuencias trae para las construcciones imaginarias de lo social latinoamericano.En la primera parte, cuestionaremos la particular univocidad con que el término “político” se homologa al de “resistencia”, al igual que la palabra “latinoamericano” habitualmente connota características no territoriales sino sociales y temporales, signadas por un pasado historiográfico particular.En un segundo lugar, consignaremos algunos efectos de ello, por ejemplo, la confirmación de la marginalidad, la complicidad con los circuitos de exhibición en territorialidades de poder y la instauración de la política como un mandato para la producción de “arte latinoamericano”.
