BOITO, María Eugenia. Imagen, reproducción, entorno: Topos discontinuos en una reflexión estético-política. Trama comun. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.2, pp.177-194. ISSN 1668-5628.

Image, reproduction, environment refer to different forms of meanings production from the visual. "Image" and "reproduction" or "copy" are expressions registered in the text "The work of art ..." (1936) of W. Benjamin, while "environment" refers to another images thinker -G. Debord, who in "The Society of the Spectacle" (1967) with the notion of "constructed situation" poses a conceptualization similar-but-inverted contained herein will be considered as "environment". Image, reproduction, environment are arranged as discontinuous places, as expressions condensing redefinition and decidability moments of forms-contained experience, showing an expanded notion of the aesthetic: not reduced to the "artistic", but in the sense proposed by T. Eagleton, as a discourse of the body, as perceived through the senses. First explains the notion of aesthetics, picking fundamentally materialistic readings of sensitivity, then identifies the meaning of the three visual expressions relating pointing out some dimensions of experiences social transformation and finally -as a symptomatic expression of an hegemonic type of contemporary visual production- presents analytical exercises of the video-mapping technique, which was central in the recent Bicentenary´s commemoration in Argentina.
