Events

Material imaginary worlds –imaginarios materiales– are effects of „collective aesthetics“. The influential Peruvian theorist Juan Acha (1916-1995) advocated placing them at the centre of all art and cultural studies. The symposium presents theses and research work that can be read in the context of this dictum. Various approaches to art and cultural theory from Latin America will be taken up and applied to different subject areas. All contributions are located in the context of dissertation projects at the IKW. In each case, the analytical perspective is also supported by a normative turn towards what Acha called an „independent visual culture“.
