Del sujeto universal al cuerpo disidente: una mirada ética y estética desde el arte postmoderno en América Latina
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article proposes a critical reading of postmodernism as both an aesthetic and ethical rupture with the universal values of modernity. By articulating contemporary philosophical theories (Bauman, Vattimo, Lyotard), postmodern feminist thought (Butler, Haraway, Braidotti, Segato), and Southern epistemologies, this study examines the emergence of a new sensibility that decenters Enlightenment reason and canonical hierarchies. Postmodern art, particularly from feminist and decolonial perspectives, becomes a critical device that challenges the binarisms and epistemic exclusions that sustained the modern project. From this vantage point, the study analyzes contemporary manifestations, especially performance art, that reformulate the place of the body, desire, identity, and otherness. Through these practices, it explores how corporeality and memory activate an ethics of difference, paving the way toward a horizon of resistance, symbolic justice, and collective reparation.
