Synopsis

The book is aimed at readers interested in the cultural history of the recent past (HICUPARE). It focuses on the 1980s, a decade in which traces of the dictatorship coexisted with democratization initiatives. The six chapters offer insights into cases located in Córdoba, from which the study group on HICUPARE seeks to develop two objectives: a) to characterize certain practices deployed within the worlds of visual arts, music, and theater, which developed, on the one hand, significant local configurations and, on the other hand, networks with different territories in Argentina and abroad; b) to investigate processes of cultural objectification and subjectification, based on the reconstruction of the trajectories of certain artists and managers whose positions mixed categories of age, gender, social class, region, and aesthetic preferences.
