Abstract
The Argentinian popular uprising in 2001 opened a decade of innovative heartfelt ways of doing art and politics. It meant the rise of a new social role with an undeniable poetic uniqueness and original ways of being in the street, which experienced interesting modulations in the following years.
Rosario was home of a lush laboratory of aesthetic-political practices. Therefore, in this research, we propose to understand the development and evolution throughout the 2000s of forms of a street esthetic-political imagination made visible in 2001 Rosario event. So, we focus on practices and experiences made by various subjects, but connected by their sensible and meaning weave deployed in the urban space.
This is a qualitative research whose process has been guided largely by the criteria of criticism epistemology and decolonial theories, aiming to produce situated knowledge.
With this task, we begin the first part making an interpretation of 2001 as an event. Afterwards, we pick up main discussions of our field of study: the links between arts and politics. Then we go deep into the experiences of Rosario´s artistic activism analyzing three groups: Arte en la Kalle, Trasmargen and Pobres Diablos, adding some activists practices gathered at Rosario National University. So we shape what we call a “visual and performative in-the-street aesthetics” and we analyze its modes of making politics.
In a second chapter we enter the carnival greening and the emergence of “murgas” movement, experiences that in our understanding shaped to the festive in-the-street aesthetics and carries a specific politicity.
The third chapter is dedicated to think the repertoire of protest gestated around the social activist Pocho Lepratti murder. We analyze the visual and visual-performative interventions that shaped it, and especially two emblem images: the ant and the angel of the bicycle. We also stop at their carnival festivity and the ways in which these experiences far exceeded its intended function in the repertoire opened bio-resistances. Finally, we reconstruct the main itineraries drawn between these practices and those of artistic activism collectives worked before.
In the fourth chapter, which composes the second part of the Thesis, we reflect on the transition from these two in-the-street aesthetics that were part of the first cycle of protest (1997-2005) to a new cycle, which runs from 2005 to 2012. We enter the collective withdrawal of those artistic activisms and activist experiences, and we focus on a new type of activism: the group called Arte por Libertad. Then we recover the main changes and continuities of murguera and carnival scene. Finally, we reflect on the importance of the repertoire of protest around Pocho Lepratti’s murder, as a pioneer experience towards socialization and more determined appropriation by social movements, such as those we study.
Thus we began the third part with a fifth chapter, in which we recover the rise of the Frente Popular Darío Santillán Rosario, a new kind of social movement emerging with a strong aesthetic bet.
In the sixth chapter we enter in this movement’s aesthetic political practices. We analyze the visual tradition and we discuss about the centrality of the stencil technique as an artistic means of expression. Secondly, we analyze their performative-visual interventions and through them, we rethink the transition that crossed the militant body. In addition, we reconstruct the itineraries and collaborative practices implied in these actions with the first wave of artistic activism as well as with Arte por Libertad. Moreover, we stop at the festive events and their place in the repertoires of protest. We are dedicated to investigate the emergence of Culture Space Digna Rabia, noting the presence of a new dynamic of collective artistic creation within social movements. Finally, we discuss the role these practices comply with the marked depletion of classical repertoires of social movements, stating their ways of doing politics.
In the last chapter, we work a series of non artistically practices that compose the aesthetic dimension of the politics of this social movement. We stop in their ways of appearing in public spaces, focusing on two key processes: the creation of a “piquetera” dramaturgy and the carnivalization process of protest. We focus on their ambivalence as well as the way in which, ironically, they bet to crack the previous sacrificial aesthetic militancy. We also recovered parties as celebratory practices of the organization and we pay special attention to the mystical realm of social movement politics, recovering the tension between life and death, or joy and the martyr, involved in the creation of new figures of engagement. Lastly, we give a final discussion on this aesthetic dimension of politics and its relevance in contemporary societies, putting pressure on some interpretations and giving ours, based on what we learned in the research process. We crown our work with some final reflections in which we recover and rethink the major results, outlining also new emergencies, challenges and probe bets.
