Resumen
Descripción
Nos proponemos indagar los conceptos fundamentales de la Estética relacional de Nicolás Bourriaud con el objeto de determinar los alcances y las limitaciones de las numerosas y diversas críticas de las cuales ha sido objeto dicha publicación. Nuestra intención de interpelar esas críticas obedece a la posibilidad de vislumbrar aspectos sumamente sugerentes de la propuesta de Bourriaud, que tal vez ni siquiera él mismo contempló. Por ello, la mencionada crítica de las críticas no solo apunta a identificar las debilidades de su propuesta teórica, sino también a establecer su potencial para la conformación de una estética del presente, que atienda a la vertiginosidad y radical multiplicidad del arte contemporáneo.
In this article we would like to investigate the essential concepts of Nicolas Bourriaud‘s Relational Aesthetics in order to determine the weaknesses and strengths of the wide range of critiques the book has received. Our purpose in addressing these critiques is to discover suggesting aspects of Bourriaud’s proposal that he himself might have missed. Thus, we intend not only to identify Bourriaud‘s theory’s weaknesses but also its potential to demarcate an aesthetic of the present that can understand and capture the vertiginous and also radical multiplicity of contemporary art.
