Vol. 27 No. 3 (2023): Unsubmissive narcissuses: self-representation, identity and difference in Ibero-American visual arts

Given the understanding that we share a recent and similar historical and sociocultural past (semi-peripheral, dictatorial, colonial, Christian, patriarchal monotheistic), what would Ibero-American arts have to say about dominant fictions and what aesthetic and dissensual tools would they use to confront to a police consensus on gender, sexuality, race and social class? What scenes, gestures and faces, even if transitory, ambiguous and relational, could disturb certain police regimes not only of race, gender and class, but also disturb the dominant fictions in the field of arts themselves? With this issue, we intend to analyze the discursive and aesthetic operations that occur when subaltern subjectivities represent themselves, instead of being portrayed from the perspective of a hegemonic Other who often seeks to objectify, dominate and observe them. them from a distance that does not contaminate their subjectivity.
