Zone of tumult: memory, art and feminism
Nelly Richard's collected texts: 1986-2020
Author: Nelly Richard.
Nelly Richard is one of Latin America's most original cultural critics. Her essays blend the best of philosophy and art theory with literary criticism and feminist thought. The texts in this publication cover a period from 1986 to 2020, examining an intellectual trajectory that emerged in the perilous space of the Chilean military dictatorship and culminates in today's new present of crisis and exception. Memory, art, and feminism are the tumultuous zones through which Richard shapes a practice of cultural criticism that unfolds in the present, in a writing style that zigzags between the visual arts, literature, photography, critical theories, cultural studies, and feminism.
"Criticism aims to stimulate reading processes that favor creative and political dissent from emancipated subjectivities, not only to question the dominant order as the external force to be combated (yesterday the dictatorship, today neoliberalism) but also to review, internally, the structures and forces that permeate our own compositions of time and place."
