O outro avança sobre mim: Dimensões da vida anônima e impessoal na cultura latino-americana

Abstract

The article proposes to analyze a series of cultural practices that show different ways to conceive subjectivity, writing and community, registering the transformation of a social landscape where displacements, nomadism and the contingency of personal relationships are increasingly more numerous. Some radical interventions in Latin American culture point to a deconstruction of the category of the person and explore forms of the impersonal and the anonymous that interrogate the intensity of an experience that is irreducible to an I or an individual. The text analyzes works by Diamela Eltit, Claudia Andújar, Gian Paolo MInelly and Patricio Guzmán.
