CAPASSO, Verónica  e  BUGNONE, Ana. Art and politics: a comparative study of Jacques Rancière and Nelly Richard for Latin American art. Hallazgos [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.26, pp.117-148. ISSN 1794-3841.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-3841.2016.0026.05.

This paper explores and compares Jacques Rancière's and Nelly Richard's theories on the relationship between art and politics from the perspective of post-foundational thought. We reflect and analyze avant-garde or critical artistic expressions from Latin America in dialogue with both theories. Therefore, we first provide an overview of Rancière's and Richard's theories, focusing on the ideas that these authors have about politics and, specifically, their conceptualization of art and its relationship to politics. We also make an interpretation of artistic productions centered on their several connections with the political, regardless of their thematic content. We use the qualitative methodology with a transdiciplinary perspective, which articulates different fields of knowledge (philosophy, politics, sociology, art history). In the case of Jacques Rancière, we draw on metropolitan theoretical tools in order to relocate and rethink his developments in relation to Latin American art. In this regard, our discussion aims at enriching his ideas in the analysis of local cases. As for Nelly Richard, we link her concepts of critical and avant-garde art with Latin American art. Finally, we put forward a comparison where conceptual similarities and differences between Rancière and Richard are highlighted along with the analysis of cases so as to widen the analytical and interpretative framework combining present theories with studies of local artistic expressions.
