Prácticas del fracaso: Lugar de indisciplinamiento y contraacademia

Abstract

In summary, I present before you one of the products that are part of the Practices of Failure project. Proposed as a thesis, but better conceived as one more chapter of the maladresian universe, Practices of Failure: Place of Indiscipline and Counter-Academy collects in a creative writing exercise the reflection and analysis around the work and legacy of the Famous Clown Maladrés, putting it into dialogue his academic and performative practice with different authors and with the experience that his fracasantes have had within the chair. The analysis carried out on this laboratory is crossed by aspects such as indiscipline, failure as a trigger for creation, the role of research/creation in the scientific/academic context, the construction of methodological alternatives and modes of doing for the understanding of the environment, the relevance of the artist as an agent that impacts his context, teacher/student relationships, art as a form of knowledge production, the poetic doing of education, the a(puesta) in vulnerability , the opening of thresholds where reality and fiction are connected, the analysis of discourse as an artistic practice that configures a plastic and dramaturgical proposal, the formation of collaborative creation spaces that dissolve the category of author, the body as a place of limits and powers, among others. These elements support a kind of “paradoxical relevance”, since the Practices of Failure have served as a Trojan Horse within the academic platform that they themselves question.
