Abstract

ZULUAGA DIAZ, Juan Carlos. Visceral poetics: black feminism, affections and emotions in the work of Victoria Santa Cruz. Hallazgos [online]. 2021, vol.18, n.36, pp.291-321.  Epub July 01, 2021. ISSN 1794-3841.  https://doi.org/10.15332/2422409x.5803.

This article first presents an overview of the affective turn, its background, some of its fundamental premises and its main developments. Subsequently, it reflects on the particularities of black feminism and its potential for the deconstruction of the patriarchal system and the racialized social order. The core of the article attempts a phenomenological analysis of the experience and work of the Afro-Peruvian artist Victoria Santa Cruz in an affective key. Among the conclusions, it highlights the important role of emotions in the construction and definition of black identities/subjectivities, as well as their relationship with the colonial system of representation and the economy of affections. On the other hand, it reveals the importance of emotions in emancipatory processes and in the construction of solidarities, making them a relevant dimension for attitude and political activism from cultural production.

Keywords : Affections; Afro-descendants; Racial discrimination; Feminism; Ethnic identity; Victoria Santa Cruz.
