- Summary:
- Rubén Darío Yepes Muñoz explores the role of contemporary art and film in mediating the Colombian armed conflict. The book examines how creative works by prominent artists and filmmakers engage audiences to foster awareness of political violence and its cultural ramifications. By analyzing public performances, photography, and cinematic productions, Yepes addresses the challenges of representing violence without perpetuating desensitization or exploitation, such as the concept of 'pornomiseria.' The study draws on theories of affect and mediation to highlight the transformative potential of art in creating cultural and political foundations for justice amidst Colombia's precarious peace process. Targeted at scholars, activists, and audiences interested in art, conflict, and Latin American studies, this book offers critical insights into how aesthetic practices navigate political complexities and societal indifference.
