Philosophy and Living Arts
Dear collaborators,
The editorial board of CONCEPT academic journal and the Master's Degree in Theater Research of the Rodolfo Usigli National Center for Research, Documentation and Information (CITRU), of the National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (INBAL) of Mexico, invite you to submit research works, such as original articles, scientific essays, interviews, and editorial reviews for the dossier Philosophy and Living Arts. Understanding living arts as all those practices that take place in the here and now, where interaction between artist and audience occurs, highlighting the changing and ephemeral nature of live art, the dossier covers the following fields of study:
- The critical function of the performing arts with regard to social machinery and its system of enunciation and subjectivation, viewed from the perspective of the crisis of representation.
- The link between the performing arts and the reality of performance and its theorization from a non-traditional philosophical perspective.
- The theatrical event, the transience of the work, and nomadic thinking as the emergence or postponement of the political.
- Affective embodiment in the performing arts as a power of thought.
Estimados colaboradores,
El consejo editorial de la revista académica CONCEPT y la Maestría en Investigación Teatral del Centro Nacional de Investigación, Documentación e Información Rodolfo Usigli (CITRU), del Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (INBAL) de México, invitan a presentar trabajos de investigación, tales como artículos originales, ensayos científicos, entrevistas y reseñas editoriales, para el dossier Filosofía y artes vivas. Entendiendo por artes vivas todas aquellas prácticas que se presentan en el aqui y ahora, en donde se da la interacción entre artista y público, destacando la naturaleza cambiante y efímera del arte en vivo, el dossier contempla los siguientes campos de estudio:
- La función crítica de las artes vivas con respecto a las maquinarias sociales y su sistema de enunciación y subjetivación, vistas desde la crisis de la representación.
- La vinculación de las artes vivas con la realidad de lo performático y su teorización desde un horizonte no tradicional de la filosofía.
- El acontecimiento escénico, la transitoriedad de la obra y el pensamiento nómada como emergencia o postergación de lo político.
- La corporeización afectiva en las artes vivas como potencia del pensamiento.
