Introduction: Geopolitics of the difference: discussions on gender and migration in contemporary visual culture
Abstract
The present issue of Art and Identity Policies is conceived as a continuity of volume 17, dedicated to critically rethinking the persistence in the contemporary world of colonial imaginaries, using as conceptual devices the categories of frontier, nation, gender, migration and diaspora. In this volume 18, the emphasis is placed on the ways in which certain practices of visual culture discuss gender perspectives and migratory processes framed in stories of historical differentiation. Thus, the geopolitics of difference become the analytical axis that allowed us to combine the heterogeneity of investigative approaches that make up this editorial proposal. By focusing on this premise of reading, we intend to privilege, not only the decentralized trajectories of subalternized regions (Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe, Latin America) by the imperatives of colonial logic, but the knots and tensions that emerge in the writings of / and about the subjects of the difference. This involves locating the act of thinking and speaking in chronotopes crossed by complex power relations and in historically situated situations.Downloads
