Este ensayo estudia la representación simbólica de la desigualdad en el arte peruano contemporáneo y analiza cómo un conjunto de imágenes captura el retorno de viejas herencias del pasado. Las obras de Roberto Huarcaya, Eliana Otta y Daniela Ortiz de Zevallos resultan relevantes por la potencia simbólica que desatan y, sobre todo, porque cuestionan el régimen de visibilidad existente. El objetivo es enfrentarnos a la normalización de la desigualdad y segregación a partir del carácter perturbador de diferentes escenarios y objetos domésticos. Palabras clave: fotografía peruana, Roberto Huarcaya, Eliana Otta, Daniela Ortiz de Zevallos, modernidad, colonialidad.   AbstractThis essay studies the symbolic representation of inequality in contemporary Peruvian art and observes how a group of images captures the return of old legacies from the past. The works of Roberto Huarcaya, El...

El sujeto de la última poesía de Vallejo termina siendo, sobre todo, un sujeto de la voluntad. Si bien sus versos siempre se propusieron representar la condición frágil de la subjetividad humana y si bien nunca tuvieron reparos en reconocer cómo la subjetividad suele evadir la urgencia de tomar decisiones, vale decir, cómo el sujeto se acobarda ante el Acontecimiento (¡cómo quedamos de tan quedarnos!, dice un famoso verso), lo cierto es que esta es una poesía que también constata que en la humanidad hay un conjunto inédito de posibilidades políticas, una fuerza que invita a superar los límites de nuestras determinaciones vitales y sociales. En sus últimos poemas, Vallejo se propuso celebrar a un conjunto de sujetos que defendieron la «idea comunista» hasta las últimas consecuencias. La idea es la siguiente: un sujeto solo se vuelve un sujeto (un hombre humano, en sus pal...

This essay explores José Carlos Mariátegui's facet as an observer of state cultural policies and as a cultural manager from civil society. Mariátegui was a tireless founder of newspapers and magazines, and promoted a type of editorial production that was marked by novel models of sustainability and dissemination. His aim was both to contribute to transforming culture understood as a "way of life" and to propose editorial projects aimed at forming more informed citizens, with new ideas and a different sensibility from that proposed by capitalist society. For this reason, this article explores this little-studied facet of José Carlos Mariátegui's work based on his journalistic practice, his work in the publishing field -which included the creation of the Minerva publishing house and the sustainability models of Amauta and Labor-, and his incessant concern for cultural policies in Peru...

This article reviews the debate around the category of interculturality to highlight its theoretical achievements and its current relevance in public policy. However, it also attempts to show its limits, contradictions and aporias. Beyond asking what interculturality refers to, it reviews how it is used and what effects it has in the spaces where it is implemented. The ideas arise from a permanent observation of different projects, although this is not ethnographic research. In this case, it has been of interest to place the theoretical discussion in the foreground.

Gonzalo Portocarrero construyó tres metáforas para explicar las dinámicas del racismo en el Perú, vale decir, para intentar describir su modo de funcionamiento y la manera particular en la que este se había producido (y asentado) en las prácticas sociales y en el imaginario existente. Las tres metáforas fueron las siguientes: el fundamento invisible, el fantasma del patrón y la utopía del blanqueamiento. Este ensayo explica cada una de ellas y las hace dialogar con algunos de los principales aportes que, para entenderlo, se han propuesto en el Perú y en la teoría crítica actual.

This essay studies the representation of subjectivity in Oliverio Girondo’s poetry based on three types of figurations: the decentering of identity, the crisis of the will and the death drive. The analysis attempts to show, on the one hand, the importance that these representations had in a context that demanded unitary, coherent and productive subjects and, on the other hand, to locate the critique that this poetry addresses to modern reason. The essay lists the strategies elucidated to reconfigure subjectivity before the world, before language and before itself.

Este ensayo estudia los “Poemas underwood” que Martín Adán incluyó en “La casa de Cartón” (1928). Por sus características formales, se trata de uno de los textos más importantes de la vanguardia peruana y se trata, además, de una de las primeras y más contundentes críticas al discurso de la modernidad inaugurado en ese entonces. Me ha interesado analizar muchas de las principales imágenes de este poema a fin de rastrear no solo cuáles son los principales cambios sociales que ahí se representan, sino cómo la voz poética va configurando un contundente arsenal de respuestas críticas a ellos.

Gonzalo Portocarrero constructed three metaphors to explain the dynamics of racism in Peru, that is, to try to describe its mode of operation and the particular way in which it had been produced (and established) in social practices and in the social imaginary. The three metaphors were the following: the invisible foundation, the ghost of the patron and the utopia of whitening or «blanqueamiento». This essay explains each of them and brings them into dialogue with some of the main contributions that, in order to understand it, have been proposed in Peru and in current critical theory.

In this essay I study the “Underwood Poems” that Martin Adan included in “La Casa de Carton” (1928). Its formal characteristics make these poems one of the most important texts of the Peruvian vanguard, as well as they establish one of the most resounding criticism to the modernity discourse of the era. I am particularly interested in analyzing one of the main images of this poem in order to trace not only the principal social changes that are represented but also how the poetic voice configures a compelling armor of critical responses to these changes.
