En un contexto de violencia necropatriarcal, donde los cuerpos feminizados son vulnerables, el espacio público se ha convertido en una zona ambivalente, entre el peligro que representa y la necesidad de una reapropiación que confronta directamente el discurso oficial, histórico, político y social. En este trabajo buscamos exponer expresiones y acciones artísticas en el espacio público en México por medio de un acercamiento capaz de visibilizar producciones y actualizaciones de diálogos intergeneracionales. A partir de una revisión de conceptos específicos y de estrategias concretas, pretendemos exhibir formas de acercamiento y lectura a procesos político-estéticos característicos por su condición crítica y dinámica. Buscamos trazar y definir una metodología de estudio a través de la revisión crítica y analítica de estrategias de intervención en el espacio público por medio del trabajo de artistas como Mónica Mayer e Alma Camelia, o colectivas como Anti-Monumenta, Brillantinas con Glitter y proyectos como El mural que debió ser.

These works can be particularly disturbing, along the lines of Danto’s notion of disturbatory art, since these kinds of works use artistic means to unveil the social and subjective implications of gender crimes.

concern femicides address three senses of the term ‘to disappear’. These works can be particularly disturbing, along the lines of Danto’s notion of disturbatory art, since these kinds of works use artistic means to unveil the social and subjective implications of gender crimes.

Here I will discuss different kind of artworks, from Locative Media, to Virtual Art and Sound Art in order to show how geographical imagination is part of the broader concept of imagining spatially, a mode of “thinking of something” that includes at least three more different conceptions of imagination.

debates recientes de filosofía del cine se ha denominado
la paradoja del suspenso. Esta paradoja
radica en el problema de que algunos espectadores
sienten suspenso frente a una narración que
ya conocían, partiendo del presupuesto de que la
incertidumbre es un estado cognitivo necesario
para sentir esta emoción. Se analizan varias propuestas
recientes y se ofrece una alternativa a la
mismas en la que se recupera la simpatía y la anticipación
como elementos que permiten explicar
esta paradoja de la reincidencia.
Abstract: This paper discusses what recent
discussions in philosophy of film have called the
paradox of suspense. This paradox lies on the fact
that it is problematic that some audiences feel
suspense when they watch a narration they already
knew, based on the assumption that uncertainty is
a necessary cognitive state for this emotion. This
work presents recent proposals analyzing the
paradox and it provides an alternative explanation
based on the role sympathy and anticipation play
in this paradox of recidivism.

I will use the concept of distributed creativity in order to support this argument and I will analyze Participatory Computer-based artworks, specifically the case of Tactical Media.

Specifically I analyze how the artwork Loud Voice (Voz Alta, 2008) by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer (a mexican-canadian artist) intervenes a public and historical place in Mexico City in order to pro- duce critical expressions of inhabiting space. This work belongs to the series of 21 works the artist named “Relational Architecture”.

En este trabajo se desarrollan los argumentos que Arthur Danto elaboró en torno al significado metafórico y el estilo con el objetivo de mostrar si es posible que su modelo permita comprender nuevas formas de Arte de Apropiación. Éstas engloban las prácticas recientes en las que los artistas hacen réplicas más o menos exactas de otras obras que han sido importantes en la historia del arte.
Abstract:
In this paper Arthur Danto’s arguments about metaphorical meaning and style are analyzed in order to show whether it is possible that his model works for understanding new ways of Appropriation Art. These are recent artistic practices in which artists make more or less accurate copies of other artworks that have been important in Art History.

That is, how can fictional situations move us even if we know they do not exist? When we read a novel, attend the theatre or when we watch a film at home we normally react emotionally if the stories these mediums present engage us in such a way that move us to tears, horror, indignation, annoyance, etc. However, we know that these stories and the characters within them are not real. Then, there is a problem, at least in philosophical terms. The problem arises when we look carefully at the notion of belief. We neither believe that the characters of the fictions are real, nor the stages where they act on, nor the circumstances we watch depicted. We know they are unreal, and yet they move us, sometimes softly and occasionally so strongly that they have a significant impact in our lives. The paradox of fiction lies upon these facts; the argumentation of this paradox centers on the contradiction between the unreality of the fictional situations and the reality of our beliefs within our emotional lives (according to cognitive approach to emotions). And in consequence contains four premises:
