Deborah Castillo: Desobediencia Radical
Este volumen editado recopila por primera vez, textos críticos sobre la obra de la artista de performance venezolana Deborah Castillo. Editado por Irina Troconis y Alejandro Castro, y partir de la historia, la filosofía, los estudios culturales, la teoría política y la teoría del performance, el libro examina las diferentes formas de desobediencia radical que se materializan cuando Castillo se enfrenta a cuestiones de poder, autoridad, el cuerpo y el Estado en el contexto de la crisis actual en Venezuela y los fracasos de la Revolución Bolivariana. En conjunto, este volumen no sólo ilumina las diferentes intervenciones que caracterizan el trabajo de una de las artistas de performance más destacadas de Venezuela, sino que también las dinámicas del poder político dentro de un escenario global dominado por populismos, polarización y nuevas formas de opresión social y subyugación.
El libro incluye textos de Irina Troconis, Alejandro Castro, Sara Garzón, Rebeca Pineda Burgos, Cecilia Rodriguez Lehmann y Diana Taylor.

This edited volume compiles, for the first time, critical perspectives on the work of Venezuelan performance artist Deborah Castillo. Edited by Irina Troconis and Alejandro Castro, and drawing from the fields of history, philosophy, cultural studies, political theory, and performance theory, the book examines the different forms of radical disobedience that materialize as Castillo engages with questions of power, authority, the body, and the State, against the backdrop of Venezuela’s current crisis and the failures of the Bolivarian Revolution. Taken as a whole, this volume not only illuminates the different operations at play in the work of one of Venezuela’s most prominent performance artists, but it also gives insight into the dynamics of political authority as it emerges amidst a global scenario dominated by populisms, polarization, and new forms of social oppression and subjugation.
The book includes texts by Irina Troconis, Alejandro Castro, Sara Garzón, Rebeca Pineda Burgos, Cecilia Rodriguez Lehmann, and Diana Taylor.
