Un cuerpo abierto: la escritura indaga, especula, comenta fragmentos, plantea suposiciones y dudas en torno a algunos microrrelatos de Kafka y Benjamin. A medio camino entre lo literario y lo filosófico, el centro de este libro es la pregunta por el objeto y el sentido de la escritura en dichos autores, pregunta que se despliega en una suerte de espacialidad conformada por ideas e imagenes en torno al cuerpo.¿Es el propio cuerpo una construccion: un refugio, una casa, una habitacion, una salida, un umbral, un laberinto? Pensarlo asi nos facilita la descripcion de un espacio que permite un movimiento constante, esto es, un lugar que siempre esta haciendose y en cierta medida horadandose, que se crea porque transita, porque es dinamico en cuanto construccion movediza. Con esto, se nos otorga la posibilidad de habitar o de recorrer la espacialidad, tanto del lenguaje como de la escritura, que elabora la tarea descriptiva de ese desplazamiento, de ese espacio, y que sera la que nos lleve a pensar en el caracter de lo vivo, ya sea de la obra, de las imagenes, de los personajes, de sus creadores o de la persona que vivencia y se enfrenta a todo esto.

Hay en el neobarroco nuestroamericano una doble operación, que es la que le da el título a este ensayo. Por un lado, de ingesta ritual, antropofágica, de nuestra tradición europea e indígena, urbana y canyengue, culta y marginal. Ingesta, asimismo, de las estrategias de seduccion del barroco, estrategias de deseo. Ingesta, por momentos voraz, de una tradicion que no es solo occidental: los neobarrocos son autenticos apropiadores de elementos de diversos universos culturales, desde mitos precolombinos a Haikou japoneses. Y asi como es ingesta y apropiacion laboriosa, el neobarroco es operacion de desacople de la ideologia reaccionaria postridentina. El barroco nuestroamericano se pliega a las luchas de los desheredados de la tierra a traves de una escritura plena de lujosos divertimentos pero consciente de los estragos de una emancipacion malograda, extraviada, fallida, con lo que el pathos de la rebelion no esta perdido. De ahi la necesidad del metal tajante que hunda su filo cuando la urdimbre se vuelva demasiado concesiva o viscosa. La hermeneutica neobarroca nuestroamericana, en su doble caracter de poetica y dispositivo lector, es asi (antropo)fagia, consumo selectivo. Y es (a)tajo, corte, incision.

A arte sempre se interessou pela realidade, mas limitou-se a imitá-la (arte clássica), a questioná-la (arte moderna) ou a transformá-la (arte engajada), entre outras perspectivas. Em todos os casos, era como se o real estivesse do outro lado da arte, aspecto inquestionavel, a espera da representaço. Este livro contraria essa premissa ao explorar a arte como um jogo de expresses possiveis, que desnuda perspectivas, interpretaçes, projeçes hermeneuticas. Marcos Beccari convida a compreenso dos olhares sobre o real, com uma proposta sobre sua natureza instavel, instantaneo, insignificante e suas relaçes com a arte na pratica das (in)compreenses possiveis. Quem busca mera digresso poetica, encontrara uma ensaistica erudita e sofisticada; quem espera uma escrita academica e impessoal, se surpreendera com o vigoroso testemunho da pratica artistica.

Este libro insiste en una pregunta actual e intempestiva, luego de tantos diagnósticos que la daban por agotada en todas sus fases: la pregunta por el arte. Pero al mismo tiempo, a través de ese objeto, su autor abre una pesquisa sobre el sistema del mundo contemporaneo y logra colocar a la critica de arte sobre la tela de fondo de una filosofia, de una ciencia politica, de una economia que utiliza para comprender la magnitud que alcanza la pregunta sin respuesta acerca de que es el arte de hoy. "En este volumen se trabajan con maestria algunas cuestiones fundamentales para la comprension del estado del arte actual, como el tan visitado pero nunca resuelto problema de la autonomia o heteronomia, la subjetividad autoral en un mundo tecnificado en el que la generacion de imagenes es cotidiana o la potencia de la creacion de cara al Antropoceno. Asimismo, Borisonik soluciona con una claridad insuperable la confusion o asimilacion contemporanea entre el diseño y el arte. Asi, describe los trazos de un mundo que muta: digitalizacion de la experiencia vital, literalidad, neoliberalismo, el lugar del cuerpo. Y lo hace en dialogo con tradiciones y reflexiones que van de la metafisica al psicoanalisis y de Aristoteles a McKenzie Wark, pasando revista de los grandes movimientos de las ultimas siete decadas. La necesidad del autor es la necesidad del mundo actual, o lo que queda de el, es la urgencia de poder decir si a la vida, al arte y a la filosofia, de sostener la pregunta justa y luchar contra las respuestas inmediatas. No por pasiones disciplinares o policiacas, sino por una exigencia temblorosa que insiste frente a todo pronostico. Si la pregunta por el arte es la pregunta por el estado del mundo presente y su peligroso futuro, este libro es una muestra de lo que la filosofia aun puede sostener. Su lectura fluye de manera atrapante, sostenida por la pasion y la tension de una escritura que mantiene en vilo a quien la afronta, desde su comienzo en la Bienal de Venecia hasta su crucial afirmacion final" (Fabian Ludueña Romandini).

En busca de las palabras reúne los textos críticos y filosóficos sobre literatura y arte escritos por Oscar del Barco a lo largo de más de cuarenta años. En todos ellos es posible advertir una constante: la concepcion del arte como una manifestacion de lo sagrado, donde tanto el creador como el receptor no son mas que oportunidades para la aparicion del misterio de la existencia. A contrapelo de la mayoria de las corrientes esteticas contemporaneas, Oscar del Barco defiende el arte como un propulsor de lo mistico: una forma de extasis en la que el sujeto se extingue en lo absoluto. Para esto somete a critica las ideas de representacion y mimesis, con el proposito de deslegitimar los dualismos entre lenguaje y realidad, sujeto y objeto, espiritu y cuerpo. Los filosofos a los que acude, como Nietzsche y Blanchot, le sirven para acercarse nunca analizar ni develar el sentido, algo contra lo que explicitamente se pronuncia a Mallarme, Artaud, Macedonio Fernandez o Juan L. Ortiz. En su prologo, sostiene Carlos Riccardo: "Y si Blanchot nunca abandona sus temas, cabe destacar que Oscar del Barco tampoco abandona los suyos. Son temas o lineas de fuerza que parecen emerger desde una zona central y efectivizarse en los diversos campos donde operan el teorico-politico, el filosofico, el poetico y desde donde se propagan, por debajo de la superficie, alcanzando multiples perspectivas".

David Hume (1711-1776), the eminent Scottish philosopher, historian, and essayist, is renowned for his profound influence on the development of empiricism and skepticism. Humes own passionate engagement with literature and the arts, coupled with his keen philosophical inquiry into human nature, profoundly informed this exploration of taste. His experiences navigating the complexities of human emotions and societal norms helped shape his understanding of how aesthetic standards evolve through collective agreement and shared experiences. This incisive essay is essential for anyone interested in the philosophy of art or the psychology of taste. Hume challenges readers to reflect critically on their aesthetic preferences while acknowledging the cultural influences that shape them, making this work a foundational text in both literary theory and aesthetic philosophy.
