TOZZINI, María Alma e ARAUJO, Juan Lobba. Now they see us. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2022, n.56, pp.157-179. Epub 10-Nov-2022. ISSN 1850-275X. http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/cas.i56.11452.
In this paper we analyze some of the artistic work produced and exhibited at two public events that aimed to remember the forest fire of March 9, 2021 in the wildland-urban interface of northwestern Chubut, in Argentinian Patagonia. It particularly affected four neighborhoods settled on provincial state lands, which is why their inhabitants were the recipients of stigmatizing speeches that placed them either as “dangerous” or as needing to be assisted by the state. Our hypothesis is that just as the fire managed to make these people visible as vulnerable neighbors, the security operations months after the fire ended up breaking down the stigmatizing frames of visibility. Based on ethnographic work in the area and in-depth interviews with artists and organizers, we analyze how the artistic works managed to crack these visibility frames, showing political subjects with agency.
