Posters as a device articulate a unique relation between the utterable and the visible, between statements and visibilities, and they find their sense beyond the theatrical ritual in politics. Thus, posters appear as a privileged device for capturing the images and texts of a time.  Este artículo analiza el cartel como dispositivo estético-político a partir de su emergencia a fines del siglo XVIII, su introducción tardía en la esfera artística a través de las vanguardias del siglo XX (con especial atención a la obra de Bertolt Brecht), y el uso de los carteles en el arte contemporáneo en el marco del activismo artístico, más específicamente, en la escena teatral porteña. Todo cartel como dispositivo articula una relación singular entre lo decible y lo visible, enunciados y visibilidades, y halla su fundamentación más allá del ritual teatral en la política. Así, los carteles aparecen como un dispositivo privilegiado para capturar las imágenes y textos de una época.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/6523 10.34096/tdf.n29.6523 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/6523/5753 telondefondo.
