For several decades, video games have been characterized as new forms of art and, at the same time, they are important elements of mass consumption, creating a highly successful industry with millions of fans around the world. But during its first decades of commercialization in the domestic sector, the content of video games was limited in terms of its graphic power, and its advertising resorted to the use of hand-drawn covers to better represent the game content. What is proposed is that art was used strategically to generate desire for consumption, therefore, the purpose of the work will be to reflect on the social uses of art focused on consumption, through the analysis of the discourse of some video game covers in the 1980s.

This article analyzes the thematic dimension of the myth of the Minotaur according to its most visible features based on mythical material from Greek Antiquity in “Hombre con minotauro en el pecho”, a short story by Enrique Serna, with the aim of establishing some of the complex links between the starting point of the myth and the reception in the short story of the Mexican writer, that is, the mediations that exist between both literary spaces, the ancient Greek and the contemporary Mexican of the present within the framework of the Classical Tradition.

This article will tackle the incorporation of sexual non-conformity as an identity category and political target in the Chilean state discourse based on the relationship between art, body and politics. It will address the mural "El muro de los deseos" by Ojo Porno erotic group, that was part of the Mapalgbti.stgo gender non-conformity memorial, which was installed and censored after a controversy promoted by conservative organizations in 2022. My goal is to assess the extent to which the body and counter-hegemonic sexual practices exceed the frameworks of tolerance of state discourses of integration of sexual diversity/dissidence, related to the cultural heritage. The analysis will board two questions: (1) the sexual non-conformity monument question, in a context marked by the rise of the far right; and (2) the subsequent hostilities regarding from the incorporation of so-called dissidence(s) into a hegemonic discourse.

This article examines the way in which an elite American woman, Elizabeth Cutter Morrow, developed her idea of what is Mexican when she--as the wife of the US ambassador to Mexico, Dwight W. Morrow--took a keen interest in Mexican art and crafts, and promoted them in her own country. She was a cultured woman who came to appreciate the originality and beauty of Mexican artisanal pieces, antiques, and contributions from the Mexican School of Painting. Her behavior was influenced by prevailing cultural currents, including Mexican nationalism, which reached its peak between 1920 and 1930, as well as the American countercultural wave following World War I, which viewed native cultures of Mexico and the United States as part of its heritage. She held a romantic view that blended Mexican culture with the concept of miscegenation, unifying the Indigenous and the popular. This text is based on the perspective of the actions of elite women, who took a secondary role with respect to their husbands. It also integrates the cultural-diplomacy approach to explain how Elizabeth's appreciation of Mexican art contributed to the rapprochement between both countries and the biographical approach to unravel how her life influenced her view of Mexico.

The needs of interpretation through art in relation to the theories belonging to Quantum Physics begin to be a daily activity. An interesting number of artists have analized from multiple possibilities the paradox devised by Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, being known as thought experiment of Schrödinger's cat. This proposal deals with the probability that two different realities are simultaneously superimposed, which leads us to suppose that the cat is both alive and dead at the same time. From here, theories such as the uncertainty principle, decoherence and mesoscopic states are installed. The main format for analyzing the Schrödinger's paradox has been formalized under the multimedia installations of JoAnn Kuchera-Morin and Gabriela Prochazka. In the plastic sections, there are the works of Johan Thom and David Shrigley, while in the video creation there is the project of Roser Teresa Gerona Ribas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to reflect on some relevant aspects that are part of the emotional dimension in order to understand, from a complex perspective, that framework that is interconnected as a fundamental element for the integral development of the human being. In addition, the existing link between emotion and art will be discussed as a means to express and represent the deepest thoughts and its relationship with educational processes for the accompaniment and support of children and young people in the recognition and regulation of what is feels, bearing in mind the current scenario where the predominance of rationality, instrumentalization and mercantilism have reduced the true meaning of teaching, which leads to facing new challenges in the search for a more humane education.

While throughout its two-thousand-year history the Catholic Church has always used the various arts to convey the message of Jesus Christ to the people, the sacred art of the 20th century is not very well known today. One of the reasons for this absence is the transition from the fascination with avant-garde sacred art that took place in the ecclesiastical world after World War II to the interest in the conservation of the historical heritage in the last decades of the 20th century. This article reviews the careers of six promoters of sacred art in Spain --Josep Torrás, Luis Almarcha, Joan Ferrando Roig, Alfonso Roig, José Manuel de Aguilar and Juan Plazaola-- who during the central decades of the 20th century promoted the decorative arts and art dedicated to divine worship, convinced that the mysteries of the Christian faith must be sensitively translated through the genius of artists.

The city is a naturally complex entity. Despite the modernist theses and the developments of the cities of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in which functionalism and spatial determinism were affirmed, the city has required in its constitution a shift towards meaning, history, and the psychological being of man. The city both in its interpretation and in its practice, far from rationalist reductionism, incorporates affective, perceptual and conceptual elements, and relates in a conjugated way in its subjects the long times of the chronologies, with the short times of the events. It is the city in complexity, the place of convergence of the unique and the diverse, of the subjective and the objective, of the fleeting and the perennial. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is a synthesis of the doctoral thesis in Literature Alcira Soust Scaffo and the Papers (Pagano Artigas, 2023), carried out at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, in the Postgraduate Program in Literature of the Center for Communication and Expression. The thesis is an investigation framed within the field of problems that contemplate the theoretical and critical spaces where knowledge from psychoanalysis and literature intersect. To do this, an epistemological position was adopted that inhabits this border and allows for dialogue between these knowledges, the foundation and driving force of the doctoral research.

This article aims to establish links between art and psychoanalysis, to seek ties that in one way or another make us think about emotions and what it provokes in each human being to traverse the paths of life; many will remain open, others without a course. These paths can be part of a life journey if we bring something of what creation is in art; a process that can be, at times, turbulent and chaotic, and at other times, a possible birth.

Introduction. A/R/Tography is a research methodology specific to Arts-Based Research (ABR), which integrates research, art, and teaching practices in a balanced manner. This methodology has been gaining momentum, and the objective of this review is to gain a deep understanding of the current trends, rhizomes, and paths that A/R/Tography has taken. Objective. To analyze the trends, rhizomes, and paths of A/R/Tography and its contributions to research, education, and art through a review of recent literature on the subject. Methods. A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, focusing on articles found in Eric and Scopus databases, resulting in a total of 24 articles being reviewed. Results and conclusions. The results demonstrate a rising trend in the use of A/R/Tography as a research methodology employed by professionals who fulfill the triple role of artists, researchers, and educators. The predominant use of A/R/Tography is observed in processes related to the visual arts, followed by processes in museums. A/R/Tography is considered a living research practice, and its creator and main proponent is the Canadian A/R/Tographer, Rita Irwin to his research group in A/R/Tography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to outline sociologist Gilles Lipovetsky's views the views of sociologist Gilles Lipovetsky on the so-called «second phase of cultural capitalism», which occurs. The historical moment between the 1950s and the 1980s and is characterized by the spread of mass consumption and the expansion of cultural industries. The antecedents of this stage, the «first phase of cultural capitalism» date back to 1850 and last until the Second World War. We will use this starting point, the end of the first phase of cultural capitalism, to review the events that gave rise to the spread and democratization of consumption. We will also review the main postulates of the «third phase of cultural capitalism», which is still in force today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article seeks to show how art becomes the support for such a worldview and how modern rationalism originated in Cartesian intuition of the method, while contemporary irrationalism, on the other hand, arises from the discovery of the will as a thing in itself. Schopenhauer's philosophy is fundamentally linked to the problem of negativity: the pain of the world, the misery of existence, and everything that falls under the negative concept of life, with a particular focus on boredom. Schopenhauer is the first contemporary philosopher capable of breaking with many of the ideas that philosophy had put forward before him. In this article, we will make a first approach to how the will becomes present through art and the fact that in art, we find a momentary release from the pain of existence. We will then analyze the cause of suffering, finding it in the expression that desire, as a constituent of the will, inevitably leads us to it. However, since suffering is not the only thing that afflicts the will, we will analyze the possibility of leisure with the genesis of the boredom proper to the idle class. Finally, in this text, we return to Schopenhauer's artistic conception by analyzing the concept of genius, finding in it the sublime expression of Schopenhauerian art. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article expresses the idea that when things stop fulfilling their social function, they pass into the field of aesthetic recreation, ceasing to be what it originally was and losing its transcendence or social pregnancy. What is interesting is above all staying with the idea that when a phenomenon is integrated into society and stops fulfilling its function, it inevitably becomes aestheticized, becoming something else. Here the disarticulation between ethics and aesthetics becomes evident. The word art comes from the Greek techne and consists of activities that were organized for a purpose. There was the technique of fishing, as well as the technique of sculpture in order to obtain corporeal images in which society needed to represent itself. "No one is simply a painter; they are all archaeologists, psychologists, stagers of some memory or some theory... They do not love a form for what it is but for what it expresses. They are children of an erudite, tortured and reflective generation; a thousand miles from the ancient masters, who did not read and only thought of giving their eyes a feast.".

This article wants to show how, through art, values are transmitted, either consciously, implicitly or unconsciously. In its different manifestations: painting, sculpture, literature, cinema, architecture, etc. art transmits the dominant values, typical of each era, through symbols. Important and significant ideas, such as the idea of Spain, have been transformed throughout history, in different stories, which have been reflected in art in different ways. In classical international law, the value of freedom and legal certainty were developed, understood as the freedom of States and of knowing what to expect, a proper value of Law. But in the Law of the contemporary international Community, new values have been developed, particularly those of peace, human dignity and solidarity that find their reflection in works of art.

Graphic representation in architecture has been drastically transformed with the arrival of new technologies. In this changing contemporary context, freehand drawing's role and objectives are being reconsidered as an aesthetic goal and as a pedagogical process. The way we transform our urban spaces is also evolving, with increasingly participatory approaches that include diverse perspectives. In search of alternative, innovative learning methods, this article shows the results of Urban Notes, an elective community activity in which students, associations and neighbourhoods exchange ideas about the place through urban drawing. First, a theoretical background is proposed that supports Urban Notes use as a participatory urban exploration tool, and then recent experiments are described. The results reveal a renewed form of transdisciplinary learning for schools of architecture and urbanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The health-disease process in Mexico during the 19th century cannot be understood without its religious component. Taking care of the sick was an act of charity led by different religious orders. During epidemics, and when medicine was ineffective, people found refuge in faith, and supported votive offerings as a currency of payment for a favor received. Votive themes vary depending on the time of manufacture, 40-70% of ex-votos from the 19th century are health related. We present the ex-voto of Ignasio Rodríguez, a historical document that shows the passage of the first cholera morbus epidemic in 1833 through Guanajuato, Mexico. At the end of the epidemic, 10-12% of the Mexican population died. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this article is to analyse a portion of the visual production of Argentine artist Noemí Escandell starting from her materialities, historical memories and cultural consumption. We will consider graphic pieces including Curriculum Vitae (1992), Diario El Blanco (1995), Daños colaterales (A 20 años del golpe) (1996), Algo habrás hecho (1998) and Desaparecido (1999), where the use of photomontage represents an aesthetic, poetic, and political strategy. These pieces, known as Handing Works, highlight a series of visual tensions between a variety of iconographic sources. Given their exhibition formats, they question the legitimized system of museum institutions, portray a series of exchange practices with the viewer and trace new modes of dissemination and circulation within the museum. The final reflections will help establish some articulations between Escandell's Handing Works with the notions of "cultural consumption", posed by Néstor García Canclini, and of "museum frictions", proposed by Corinne A. Kratz and Ivan Karp, underlining the effects generated by these pieces in public spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies a set of profiles of women written by Marta Brunet for the Chilean magazine Ecran between 1935 and 1936, published in her column "Alrededor de una mujer" (Around a Woman). This column was an important space for the divulgation and appraisal of artistic and intellectual activities of Latin American women of the period. The profiles are analyzed considering the medium in which they circulated. In this sense, I maintain that, unlike the female models that Ecran publicized on its pages, in Brunet s column the qualities of modern women were highlighted, with trajectories where work, travel and self-training were decisive for carrying out a personal and original project.

This work proposes to carry out a systematic review of the different considerations on the subject of creation in Lacan's teaching, in order to describe the approaches proposed in psychoanalysis and its methodological perspectives. The systematic review, according to the PRISMA Declaration, is carried out in May 2022 and ten scientific articles are selected from five databases that refer to publications in Spanish between 2022-2018, where it is concluded about the similarities and differences in the approaches to the subject from psychoanalysis, highlighting the function and meaning of an unprecedented capacity for invention and the creation of particular solutions, outside the norms.

The main premise of this paper is based on the idea that Banksy adopts a historical iconography in the representation of the disease, adapted in language and format to the contemporary context of artistic production. Our aim is the observation and description of the evolution of an artistic theme with a certain iconography. This iconography is changing and adaptable to its historical context. We apply a critical analysis based on the consult of bibliographic references. The results conclude that the pandemic by Covid-19 finds in Banksy a paradigmatic creator of media art, or mediatized, connected to digitization of cultural production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years we have witnessed a visual flood of the emblematic work of Taller de Arquitectura, a multidisciplinary group that gathers around the figure of Ricardo Bofill, called La Muralla Roja (Calpe, Alicante). As the 50th Anniversary of this media icon approaches, we see almost no scientific investigation into its advertising appeal. Because its importance increases at times, the building is analyzed and repositioned from an aesthetic and advertising vision in a sharp rise in Social Media, whose architecture is still so current, and a diversity of artistic currents are interested in it.

The contrast between the first narrative unit of the recently published Les Soixante-quinze feuillets, "Une soirée à la campagne", and "Combray", the first chapter of Swann's Way, allows us to draw new conclusions about the way in which Marcel Proust constructed his work. In this sense, the character of the grandmother, the protagonist in the selected fragments of both versions, constitutes a central point of reference for the narrator self. This paper will focus on certain aspects of the grandmother's personality that have repercussions on the construction of the narrator's childhood perspective and on his idea of art: her way of understanding nature and her relationship with walking and disorder, her concept of social distinction and the projection of these in the aesthetic postulates present in the final work.

Various cities around the world, such as Bilbao and London, serve as examples of how art acts as a catalyst and driver of tourism development. The same can be said for creative districts, such as Miami and Mexico City, which have strengthened and created new business opportunities. Puerto Vallarta, a tourist city in the state of Jalisco on the Mexican Pacific coast, is a center and catalyst for the region’s development. It has established itself as a beach destination through traditional growth and positioning, making tourism the foundation of its economy. However, as a mature destination, Puerto Vallarta requires diversification and new drivers of tourism. This study analyzes the functioning of establishments engaged in creative activities in the downtown area of Puerto Vallarta, focusing on the demarcation of a polygon defined as a creative district. The aim is to diversify the existing cultural offerings and provide an alternative to the traditional sun-and-beach tourism. The findings reveal an ongoing development of a creative economy in the Art District of Puerto Vallarta, albeit lacking supportive policies from the municipal, state, and federal governments to consolidate these creative enterprises.

This article addresses the study of the theory of frame semantics applied to heritage access. Based on the conception proposed by cognitive linguistics of the semantic framework as a tool for understanding, we present a study that explores the possibilities of this instrument as a catalyst for processes of teaching-learning of heritage. Taking into account the features of the a/r/tographic approach, the study is organized as a visual art practice in which research, education, and artistic creation are presented as simultaneous actions that feed back on each other. In such a way that the process and the resulting images are themselves an object of analysis, a research instrument and an educational proposal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sociology of Norbert Elias and feminism reflect on the naked bodies of women as a long-lasting symbol, whose origin as a preponderant discursive tradition in art dates from the Renaissance. We seek to understand the way in which women's naked bodies remain in the visual arts as a signifier of desire, sin, and evil; whose meanings are anchored to a subjectivity typical of a social context. The reiteration of women's naked bodies requires a holistic understanding of the way in which the behavior of the body has been shaped, which is part of a process of civilization in Western society that involves the disciplinarity of the instincts. The naked body, hidden in society, becomes a signifier of desire, sin, and evil in art. The body is where the relationship between subject and society is indiscernibly inscribed.

This article presents a state of the art that integrates the review of fifty articles of the results of studies that, in the last decade, investigated creativity in relation to the identity and subjectivity of children, adolescents and young people living with chronic diseases .The document is part of a doctoral research that aims to identify the transformations that creativity undergoes in relation to the development of identity and subjectivity of children living with chronic diseases, such as HIV/ AIDS, cancer and diabetes, given that these are the diseases that Sontag (2008) relates as the diseases that cause the greatest social and economic impacts and that modify the life project of people in the long term. From the methodological point of view, bibliometric data constructed from specialized databases such as PubMed, APA, Science Direct, Proquest, Redalyc, Scielo and Scopus were approached; subsequently a critical interpretive analysis of these investigations was carried out from a qualitative perspective. The results show that the use of art as a therapeutic strategy facilitates coping with the disease; however, relevant effects are also evident in the family and relational system of those who live with these diseases. It is also found that a large part of the research, as suggested by Sontag (2008), assumes diseases as an enemy, making use of the language of war, in addition to locating whoever experiences the disease as a battle hero or as a survivor when it is possible to go through the disease in a satisfactory way, however, it is also evident that this position implies a struggle of the subject with himself. Also, some of the authors state that the disease facilitates the recognition of abilities, tastes and skills of which one was not aware before experiencing it. Through these investigations, the understanding of the importance of relationships with peers as a key aspect for the development of self-regulation is broadened, which facilitates self-care practices far from victimization and family overprotection. Creativity has been understood mainly from artistic exercises, art-therapy and the use of some resources such as painting, drawing, music and dance for the approach to the subject who lives with chronic diseases, from the research exercises themselves, but also from an attempt to allow the subject to establish diverse communications with his context and to establish communication bridges with himself and with his new life circumstances. However, this perspective 1 El término “adolescente” no es el preferido por los investigadores para referirse a los jóvenes, debido a su relación con el “adolecer” una etapa del desarrollo. Sin embargo, se hace uso del término en este documento debido a que los artículos analizados hacen uso de este término para referirse a sus participantes de investigación. leaves aside the proposal of Lavie, Narayan and Rosaldo (1993), who argue that creativity is the human capacity to respond to daily circumstances in different ways, which allows expanding the field of action of what creative, facilitating that it is linked to the daily lives of the subjects and other ways of displaying creativity are explored, from relationships, from the practices of self-recognition and self-care regarding the same disease.It is also found that chronic diseases are related to metaphors that force the subject who experiences them to assume the role of warrior, war hero or war victim; these postures assume burdens for the subject and, although in some cases they help to assume the disease with a spirit of improvement, they also increase responsibility, guilt and difficulties in cases in which the disease is not overcome.

We seek to build up a scriptural concept of image, based on Derridean notion of spacing and its relationships with those of arche-writing and trace. In order to do so, we will point out that Derrida's philosophy, as well as it is not limited to linguistic matters, can also be applied to the dimension of visual experience, without overcoming the immanence of its specific structure. After deepening in the epistemological function of spacing in the multiple fields of experience, we will apply this constitutive multidimensionality to the dimension of artistic images, especially from the work of Jackson Pollock. As a visual modulation of Derridean spacing, Pollockian dripping will provide useful elements to highlight the operativeness -both scriptural and non-verbal-of the image in the visual arts.

The authors aim to analyze, under the concepts of the aesthetics of marginality, the mural of El Cóporo, and review the scopes that the project had in the physical and social rehabilitation of the public space of the area. The research is based on a historiographic approach to the subject, supported by tours in the area of the mural, photographic record and interviews. Among the important findings is that the mural has given a new configuration to the urban landscape of the city of Toluca, but fails to eradicate marginalization. It is concluded that art modifies the urban landscape and visually integrates the area into the city, however, the mural highlights the territory and endorses a marginal identity of the neighborhood.

The role of augmented reality, virtual reality or algorithms in society is increasing. It is enough to check the amount of technology that is being integrated as a habitual element in everyday life. The objective of our study is based on combining both the usefulness and aesthetic possibilities offered by augmented reality offers with the study of mythology and its dissemination. In the present work we focus specifically on the mythology about the founding of Madrid. The aim is to establish to what extent it is possible to represent the spirit of myth through new technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Assassin's Creed videogame saga is a paradigmatic example of how to deal with the treatment of different historical periods and emblematic places. This article analyses the sources, models and references that helped to shape the urban landscapes of the Holy Land during the Third Crusade, based on the methodology of visual studies. The conclusions demonstrate that the verisimilitude achieved in the designed gamespaces transits between historical fidelity and creative freedom, which opens the door to the confluence of different art-historical styles and architectural models in Jerusalem, Masyaf, Damascus and Acre.

In the following research we will address the problem of Latin American art as an expression of identity, recognizing on the one hand that art offers interpretations that can nurture Latin American philosophical thought, and on the other hand that because it is a manifestation of reality, it can allow us to understand the aesthetic experience from particular, localized points of view. We follow the guide of two central categories: Reticulophagy and Appropriation, to understand what this "expression of the real" is about in the Latin American artistic scene, starting from the idea that Latin American art throughout its history has been capable of eating the reticulated reason of the other and appropriating the imposed visual elements to create with them a manifestation of what is observed. In addition, other contributions that address the ethical problem implicit in the study of Latin American art are included in this research, such as Enrique Dussel's proposal on the aesthetics of liberation and Vasconcelos's coordinative philosophy as a philosophy of the living, capable of accepting observation as a action that has no control over what is observed. All of the above will serve to lay the foundations for a Latin American aesthetic proposal. We recognize the difficult (if not impossible) task of describing the reality of such a diverse territory under an aesthetic category, therefore we will emphasize developing readings, glimpses of a shared will, without understanding this approach as a single truth about social, territorial, aesthetic, political realities of the different Latin American countries.

The aim of this article is to show that, according to Theodor Adorno, art is knowledge, it has gnoseological relevance, and is linked to truth. While Adorno makes a radical separation and distinction between art and philosophy, at the same time he claims that they have a complementary and collaborative relationship. This relationship can only be grounded on the understanding of art as dialectics and estrangement from the real world. The dialectical link with concrete reality grounds two aesthetic concepts that characterize the peculiar way of thinking in art, namely, "mimesis" and "expression." After dealing with the mimetic-expressive condition of art, the article clarifies the complementary relationship between art and philosophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: After the traumatic experience of the last dictatorship in Argentina (19761983), from the recovery of democracy to the present, there have been numerous experiences of symbolic reparation in relatives of the disappeared. Some have been promoted and managed by the State, others by human rights organizations, institutions, or cultural groups, such as our case study: "El Rancho Urutaú" Space for Culture and Memory in the city of Ensenada (Province of Buenos Aires) in which families are invited to participate in the construction and placement of murals that represent their loved ones. Main goal: Analyze the participation, reception and effects of these collective memory practices in the family environment. Method and technique: Starting from a qualitative analysis and a theoretical perspective based on Memory Studies, we focus on the analysis of traumatic memories and grief work with the contributions of psychoanalysis. For this, we resort to participant and non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews approached with the Oral History methodology. Results: The inquiry shows that these reparatory practices enable families to approach different ways of dealing with the traumatic experience through the sharing and building memories collectively. Conclusions: The memory practices that act as symbolic reparation collaborate in the work of grief, making possible the socialization of the events as rituals, helping to rebuild ties and regenerate the social fabric dismantled by the dictatorship.

This article constitutes a contribution to the knowledge of art in its connection with philosophy and psychoanalysis, as it approaches to the tension between the representation and the symbolic construction of the artistic image in the contemporary cultural/aesthetic context, through the relationship between the Lacanian Real and Adorno's negative aesthetic. This relationship finds its articulation point in the aesthetic phenomenon of the Beautiful, understood as what confronts the subject with the emptiness of its radical desire, without deceiving it and that allows to integrate the Real's negativity with the formal elements that make up the artistic work, as well as the Adornian proposal concepts of radicality and authenticity. At the end, a psychoanalytic interpretation of colombian artist Doris Salcedo's work is made, in which the negative aesthetics and the aesthetic effect of the Beautiful are integrated.

This article studies the power of visual aesthetics in politics. Between what is allowed to see and what is forbidden to show, the scopic regime is defined by the intervention of institutional power on the viewer's gaze. This study is developed between the philosophical tradition and other multidisciplinary contributions (visual studies, social communication, aesthetics, art history, art theory) that show a) political control in the scopic regimes of the viewer's gaze; b) the consolidation of a visual culture that conditions the way of life of individuals and societies; c) the domain of social space through the regulation of visual space; and d) the manipulation of affects through visual experience. In this study we highlight the opening of critical consciousness in modernity to the aestheticization of politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is about music and psychoanalysis and proposes convergences between both disciplines, not to psychoanalyze the musical or musicians' activity, but to determine and describe what music can contribute to the psychoanalytic practice. To this end, it establishes relationships between some concepts proper to the aesthetic music theory and some central psychoanalytic notions to illustrate the relationships between sublimation and the death drive. The aim is to highlight that the relationship that the subject establishes with music is not only supported on the life drive or eroticism but also on the thanatic, i. e. the determinations of the drive vicissitudes traced by desire and jouissance.

This article collects the results of an ethnographic fieldwork carried out in rural areas in central La Mancha. The main objective has been to study the symbolism of the popular, visual and decorative arts, called minor arts because of their opposition to the major or noble arts. Among these activities, the art of hooking the ropes of mules harnessed with harness or garnishes in simple or daily (black and white colors) and in luxury or silk (red and yellow albero) stands out. The field of symbolic anthropology has been used, as well as different ethnographic research techniques. The artistic activities analyzed constitute a form of language that, due to its symbolic content, evokes a place, a cultural tradition, links with other places in the national geography, such as the case of Andalusia, and values that are part of the social imaginary.
