Tulipán, una propuesta de literatura electrónica sobre la desaparición forzada en el conflicto armado colombiano

Abstract

The present document accounts for the process of constructing a research-creation, whose resulting work, named Tulipán, falls within the field of electronic literature. This work addresses a phenomenon of political violence within the Colombian context of recent decades: forced disappearance. The creative process of the work, therefore, uses this phenomenon as a pretext, from which it is possible to elaborate creative categories: the invisible, the void, the sinister, and the fantastic; which are, on one hand, the basic elements of the literary proposal that the work will contain, and on the other hand, the triggers of the interface's gameplay mechanics. The elaboration of this product aims analytically to observe how the political-aesthetic relationship unfolds, more specifically in terms of the reconfiguration of the distribution of the sensible that an artistic work allows. And finally, the communicative purpose of the work lies in the possibility of generating a disruptive space or a means of public debate on the announced phenomenon, demonstrating that art in this contemporary field (electronic literature), due to its characteristics, can foster aesthetic effects that broaden perspectives, voices, and viewpoints in the face of hegemonic narratives.
