Politics of an Absence

Abstract

The question about the relationship between the political issue and art, implies thinking about the operative conditions of the devices of senses (works, events, experiences, discourse) in an specifi c context of its present, regarding other areas of society. From this perspective, we will attempt an articulation of the political issue as an absent fi gure on the current Chilean cinema, proposing an analysis of the experiences that Reinaldo Laddaga have understood as the aesthetics of irruption. The cultural and aesthetics experiences create temporal and artifi cial communities, in order to build collective subjectivities; disarticulating what Jacques Rancière has called the status of «art for art’s sake» in the contemporary cinema.
