This article proposes an interpretative update of the visual text Untitled (1993) by Omar Schiliro (Buenos Aires 1962-1994), based on its link with the concept of the political postulated by Chantal Mouffe (2007, 2014), from a text-centered perspective. The methodology employed corresponds to the textual and visual arts semiotics postulated by Umberto Eco (1990; 2007; 2013; 2000) according to the guidelines articulated by Alejandra Niño Amieva and Hugo Mancuso (2016). Durante la década de los noventa se conformó en torno a las producciones artísticas vinculadas a la Galería del Centro Cultural Ricardo Rojas, dependiente de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, un discurso homogeneizante alrededor del término light. Durante el transcurso de la década, este término adquirió una connotación negativa que caracterizó a los textos visuales como superficiales, kitsch, carentes de compromiso político y decorativos. En investigaciones recientes se proponen relecturas políticas de las producciones desde perspectivas vinculadas a lo queer, el género y el afecto como modos de agenciamiento micropolítico. Sin embargo, se observa en ellas una preponderancia de la valoración de la vida personal de los artistas, o de su biografía, para el análisis de las producciones. En el presente artículo se plantea una actualización interpretativa del texto visual Sin título (1993) de Omar Schiliro (Buenos Aires 1962-1994), a partir de su vinculación con el concepto de lo político postulado por Chantal Mouffe (2007, 2014), desde una perspectiva centrada en el texto. La metodología empleada corresponde a la semiótica textual y de las artes visuales postuladas por Umberto Eco (1990; 2007; 2013; 2000) de acuerdo con los lineamientos articulados por Alejandra Niño Amieva y Hugo Mancuso (2016).

During the 1990s, a homogenizing discourse was formed about the artistic productions linked to the Gallery of the Ricardo Rojas Cultural Center, dependent on the University of Buenos Aires, around the term “light”. During the course of the decade, this term acquired a negative connotation that characterized the visual texts as superficial, kitsch, lacking political commitment and decorative. Recent research proposes political re-readings of the productions from perspectives related to queer, gender and affect as modes of micropolitical agency.
