Body, territory and memories in Light Years Away by Edurne Rubio

Faced with a notion of territory as a mere space to be mapped and cataloged, Light Years Away (Rubio Barredo, 2016) proposes an imaginary territory that refers to a physical space, the Ojo Guareña caves in Burgos, as a contender for material and symbolic constructions. This piece develops the connec...

This piece develops the connection between body, territory and memory from the testimonies of a group of speleologists, who more than forty years after their first explorations, visit the caves together and remember their youthful days, coinciding with the end of the dictatorship in Spain. The analysis points out the aesthetic procedures with which the work is constructed, at the same time that it dialogues with some of the current discussions in the field of history and critical geography. On the one hand, orality stands out as a resource to recover a polyphonic account of history following the contributions of Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui; and on the other, from the theoretical framework of Latin American feminist geography, it values ​​the embodied territory and validates the knowledge of lived experience. The study, more generally, points out the capacity of artistic practices to contribute to reflection and the dissemination of knowledge, in dialogue with political issues that contemporary affect us. Frente a una noción de territorio como mero espacio a ser cartografiado y catalogado, Light Years Away (Rubio Barredo, 2016) propone un territorio imaginario que remite a un espacio físico, las cuevas de Ojo Guareña en Burgos, como contenedor de construcciones materiales y simbólicas. Esta pieza desarrolla la conexión entre cuerpo, territorio y memoria a partir de los testimonios de un grupo de espeleólogos que más de cuarenta años después de sus primeras exploraciones, visitan juntos las cuevas y recuerdan sus días de juventud que coinciden con el final de la dictadura en España. El análisis señala los procedimientos estéticos con los que está construida la obra, al tiempo que dialoga con algunas de las discusiones actuales en el ámbito de la historia y la geografía crítica. Por un lado, destaca la oralidad como recurso para recuperar un relato polifónico de la historia siguiendo las aportaciones de Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui; y por otro, a partir del marco teórico de la geografía feminista latinoamericana, pone en valor el territorio encarnado y la validez del conocimiento de la experiencia vivida. El estudio, de manera más general, señala la capacidad de las prácticas artísticas para contribuir a la reflexión y la difusión de conocimiento, en diálogo con cuestiones políticas que nos afectan como personas en relación.  Centro de Producción e Investigación en Artes, Facultad de Artes, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. 2021-09-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Double-blind peer-reviewed article Artículo revisado por sistema de pares doble ciego application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/ART/article/view/34552 10.55443/artilugio.n7.2021.34552 ark:/s2408462x/nvg32itsh Artilugio; No. 7 (2021): Cartographies, Memories and Territories; 152-168 Artilugio; Núm. 7 (2021): Cartografías, memorias y territorios; 152-168 Artilugio; n. 7 (2021): Cartografías, memorias y territorios; 152-168 2408-462X 10.55443/artilugio.n7.2021 ark:/s2408462x/rkwmwvcrg spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/ART/article/view/34552/35023 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/ART/article/view/34552/35024 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/ART/article/view/34552/35025 Derechos de autor 2021 Diana Delgado-Ureña Diez https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
