Imagine/do: Theoretical fictions for contemporary literature and the arts Contemporary
Keywords:
contemporary art, theoretical fiction, literatureSynopsis
The book Imaginar/hacer. Ficciones teóricas para la literatura y las artes contemporáneas (Imagining/Making: Theoretical Fictions for Contemporary Literature and the Arts) seeks to problematize possible relationships between imagining and making that call into question representations of language(s), writing(s), temporality(ies), history(ies), and the common at the turn of the century. In addition, it seeks to reflect on a unique contemporary critical practice, situated between theory and fiction, which focuses on ways of imagining and doing that emerge from contemporary aesthetics. In its pages, the authors seek to configure a reflective framework with notions drawn from contemporary theory, criticism, and philosophy, with the aim of configuring a category that is highly operational: theoretical fiction. The publication brings together collective and original productions derived from the work carried out during the specific period of 2018-2019 by the research team "Materialist Perspectives: A Critical Approach to Contemporary Writings" led by Gabriela Milone and based at the María Saleme de Burnichon Research Center (FFyH/UNC), both in the undergraduate and graduate teaching space and in scientific events and interdisciplinary exchanges with other researchers.
