No. 4 (2018): Policies of the Living

In this issue, we encourage everyone to reflect on the bonds established in those artistic practices that convey meaning in encounters with others. In the contemporary arts, the particular interests of the performing arts have been expanded to the visual, sound, and audiovisual fields, which allows for a revision of the present conditions of artistic executions. This makes an issue of the notions of presentation/representation based on daring encounters between artistic materials and spectators. Likewise, the performing turn of culture has adopted methodologies from the arts to address social rituals from an anthropological perspective and review pedagogical practices, religious and political representations, the means of communications, and the dramatization of reality, among others.
