The City Behind the City: Performance, Past, and Memory in Buenos Aires

This paper argues that performances set in recognizable public spaces in the City of Buenos Aires open, through their own dynamics of representation, a temporal depth towards the past of a place.

At the same time, they present shared deictics that can contribute to the construction of citizenship, understood as a daily, situated, and political act. Both Un paisaje para mí (Silvia Gómez Giusto and Aliana Álvarez Pacheco, 2023), performed at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and Una obra más real que la del mundo (Mujer Mutante, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023), performed at Chacarita Cemetery, take on the structure of a guided tour. These interventions can be read as modes of enunciation about their respective loci of performance and explorations at the intersection of urban space, history, and memory. En este trabajo se propone que las obras que utilizan un espacio público reconocible de la ciudad como escenario abren, por su propia dinámica de representación, un espesor temporal a la historia y la memoria colectiva del lugar, a la vez que proponen deícticos compartidos que pueden colaborar en la construcción de la ciudadanía, entendida como un acto cotidiano, situado y político. A partir de “Un paisaje para mi” (Silvia Gómez Giusto y Aliana Álvarez Pacheco) realizada en el Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes y “Una obra más real que la del mundo” (Mujer Mutante) realizada en el Cementerio de la Chacarita se exploran las posibilidades de la representación en la entrecrucijada de espacios urbanos, ficciones y memorias. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/15539 10.34096/tdf.n41.15539 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/15539/15253 telondefondo.

description This paper argues that performances set in recognizable public spaces in the City of Buenos Aires open, through their own dynamics of representation, a temporal depth towards the past of a place. At the same time, they present shared deictics that can contribute to the construction of citizenship, understood as a daily, situated, and political act. Both Un paisaje para mí (Silvia Gómez Giusto and Aliana Álvarez Pacheco, 2023), performed at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and Una obra más real que la del mundo (Mujer Mutante, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023), performed at Chacarita Cemetery, take on the structure of a guided tour. These interventions can be read as modes of enunciation about their respective loci of performance and explorations at the intersection of urban space, history, and memory.
