Apuestas y posibilidades desde la exclusión

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This session aims at a transdisciplinary discussion on different forms of exclusion in Latin America and some of the wide array of responses coming from the margins that may shape new possibilities for understanding. We look at a variety of cases to explore occurrences in which both dominant and subaltern cultures build imagined rather than real distinctions that organize people’s perceptions and even institutions and nation-building projects. We focus specifically on narratives, images, and practices of ontological and epistemological exclusion, and address the question of the limits and possibilities of contemporary responses that contest those exclusions. Looking at different expressive modes and media (e.g., literature, comics, performance, academic and political practice) we discuss ways in which exclusions are constructed, thought of and expressed, the ideological, aesthetic, and political elements that condition these exclusions, as well as responses coming from the margins that delineate alternative forms of producing and exchanging knowledge.
