I28-R145-6522_oai2025-11-17 Díaz, Silvina Alejandra 2019-03-02 After the depoliticization which, during the 2001 crisis, reached all spheres of Argentine society, the interventionist and transformative capacity of politics was rediscovered, as well as the fundamental role that culture has in the construction of the social order. Far from the nihilism of “the end of the Social” (Baudrillard), theatre goes out on the street physically and metaphorically, occupying and resignifying the public space, aiming to assume its dissident potential and to recognize itself as a privileged channel for the circulation, visibilization and production of discourse. In this essay, we will refer to different theatrical actions and urban interventions carried out by collectives such as Fin de un mundo and Compañía de Funciones Patrióticas. The political dimension of all these situated events lies in the interpellating efficiency of direct action and in their connection with a specific territory. These artistic practices appear as a force that disrupts the city’s everyday reality. Also, they encourage an association with social movements in order to restore theatre’s power to contribute in terms of identity building, operating as an act of resistance and strengthening community bonds. In the same way, and as a complementary effect, by intervening the public sphere, the art experience changes its own conventions and codes. Luego de la despolitización que, durante la crisis de 2001, alcanzó a todas las esferas de la sociedad argentina, tuvo lugar un redescubrimiento de la capacidad intervencionista y transformadora de la política y del rol fundamental de la cultura en la construcción del orden social. Lejos del nihilismo del “fin de lo social” (Baudrillard), el teatro sale a la calle física y metafóricamente, ocupa y resignifica el espacio público buscando asumir su potencialidad disidente y reconocerse como un canal privilegiado para la circulación, visibilización y producción de discursos. Nos referiremos a acciones teatrales e intervenciones urbanas -como las de Fin de un mundo y la Compañía de Funciones Patrióticas-, acontecimientos situados cuya dimensión política radica en la eficacia interpelante de la acción directa y en su vinculación con un territorio específico. Estas prácticas artísticas se presentan como una fuerza disruptora de la realidad cotidiana de la ciudad, y propician una articulación con los movimientos sociales para recuperar el sentido identitario del teatro en tanto acción de resistencia y fortalecimiento de los lazos comunitarios. Del mismo modo, y como efecto complementario, al intervenir en la esfera pública, la experiencia artística modifica sus propias convenciones y códigos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/6522 10.34096/tdf.n29.6522 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/6522/5752 telondefondo.

After the depoliticization which, during the 2001 crisis, reached all spheres of Argentine society, the interventionist and transformative capacity of politics was rediscovered, as well as the fundamental role that culture has in the construction of the social order. Far from the nihilism of “the end of the Social” (Baudrillard), theatre goes out on the street physically and metaphorically, occupying and resignifying the public space, aiming to assume its dissident potential and to recognize itself as a privileged channel for the circulation, visibilization and production of discourse. In this essay, we will refer to different theatrical actions and urban interventions carried out by collectives such as Fin de un mundo and Compañía de Funciones Patrióticas. The political dimension of all these situated events lies in the interpellating efficiency of direct action and in their connection with a specific territory. These artistic practices appear as a force that disrupts the city’s everyday reality. Also, they encourage an association with social movements in order to restore theatre’s power to contribute in terms of identity building, operating as an act of resistance and strengthening community bonds. In the same way, and as a complementary effect, by intervening the public sphere, the art experience changes its own conventions and codes. |
