theoretical framework to development the workshop included the poetic inquiry approach and the artistic dispositif. The experience of the workshop shows the social, political, and critical impact of combining art and poetry. This combination allows researchers to go beyond more traditional research practices such as interviews and ethnographies. We hope to contribute to promote these alternative methodologies in the Latin American researchers’ communities and audiences.
launch of issue #15, “Learning Art and Resistance from the South”. This issue
was guest edited by Eva Marxen of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. It
consists of a series of essays, interviews and other documents generated in
response to the exhibition Talking to Action: Art, Pedagogy and Activism in the
Americas. The exhibition, curated by Bill Kelley, Jr., was featured at the SAIC
Sullivan Galleries in 2018. As part of the exhibition the Sullivan Galleries
organized a number of public programs and events, from which the following
material was drawn. This issue of FIELD, like the exhibition which was its
catalyst, understands artistic practice and political praxis as interdependent and
mutually enriching. It locates an important nexus for these concerns in a range of
new artistic and cultural projects developed in Latin America over the past
decade. One of the primary focal points for the essays included here is the
ongoing struggle against neo-liberal capitalism. If we want to develop a deeper
understanding of the corrosive nature of neo-liberalism, and the forms of
resistance necessary to challenge it, we have much to learn from the Latin
American experience. One of the most important lessons it can offer us concerns
the generative nature of resistance itself. For the artists and collectives presented
in this issue of FIELD political resistance is not simply utilitarian, but rather,
constitutes a form of creative production that is capable of generating its own
unique forms of insight, and of re-shaping consciousness, and subjectivity, itself.
What emerges from these practices is not merely the epiphenomenal expression
of a naïve and spontaneous “actionism” but rather, a coherent pedagogical and
critical methodology from which new paradigms of both resistance and creation
can emerge. This issue of FIELD features bi-lingual translations in Spanish and
English. Contributors include Almudena Caso and Hannah Barco, David
Gutiérrez and Paulina E. Varas, Dignicraft and Ionit Behar, the Iconoclasistas
collective, Sandra de la Loza, Eduardo Molinari and Josh Rios, Red
Conceptualismos del Sur, Guillermo Rivera-Aguilera and Luis Jiménez, Mirliana
Ramírez-Pereira and Eva Marxen. FIELD is available on-line at: http://fieldjournal.

las metodologías cualitativas. Este cambio, identificado como un «giro transdisciplinario», se caracteriza por la integración de técnicas provenientes de las artes, marcando un paso significativo más allá de la mera teorización.
El texto proporciona un análisis crítico de esta tendencia, examinando en detalle el papel y la eficacia de los enfoques artísticos y poéticos en la investigación cualitativa. Se pone especial énfasis en la convergencia entre las artes, la poesía contemporánea y las ciencias sociales y de la salud, enriqueciendo así la perspectiva y el alcance de la investigación cualitativa.
Además, presenta una visión pragmática de la implementación de estas técnicas, mostrando ejemplos de su aplicación en comunidades latinoamericanas y peninsulares. Como resultado, este libro no solo teoriza acerca de estas innovadoras estrategias, sino que también proporciona
directrices prácticas para su incorporación en futuros proyectos de investigación cualitativa.
The text establishes an institutional critique of both the dominant psycho-pathology discourse and the instrumentalizations of art practices. Innovative in its approach, the results are analyzed in the framework of subjects such as hegemony-subalternity, subjectivity, resistance, the nomadic, critical art practices, narratives and minor language, deinstitutionalization, anti- psychiatries as well as institutional therapy. With a special focus on Latin America, international artists’ writings and works are intersected with the thoughts of curators and museum decision makers. The inevitable connection of the arts with social and political fields is highlighted, enabling the exploration of the intersections of art, critical analysis, social science, psychoanalysis, and political philosophy.
