Various arts: performances by Felisa Crítica in the worlds of cinema and theatre

Abstract

In this paper we intend to describe certain configurations, performances and uses of film reviews, analyzing the different tensions at stake. In order to do so, we focus on a singular case: Felisa and her blog of films´ and plays´ reviews. Felisa, a woman from Almagro neighborhood in Buenos Aires, faces the camera at home, comments movies and plays, and uploads these to her blog. This case allows us to work the intersection between different arts: criticism, film, theater and, why not, science, calling into question the overlapping between the virtual and the real, intellectuality and domesticity, works and comments, fantasies and truths, in its inseparable configurations.
