Historical constellation of the making and use of visual art in processes of subjectivation as dialectical images

Abstract

It is from the visual art of clasical greek antiquity to contemporany in Mexico that historical constellation of the making and use of visual art in processes of subjectification as dialectical images, proposes art and aesthetics as forms of experience that influence creation, as well as the transformation of identities. Subjectivities that are distributed in a certain space-time whith specific functions which dictate a way of feeling, seeing and stating, but that do not represent an unobjectionable truth-identity. Thus, art and aesthetics are part of a social dialectic that both reaffirms, denies or questions the norms of the established reality principle. This dialectic has historically materialized in visual artistic practices that tend to maintain existing social relations and those that tend to transform them. Consequently, art and aesthetics as forms of political representation are dialogic with the environment, just as they are dialectical in their most intimate singular and particular representations with the other.
