The book Latent Aura (Aura Latente), by Ticio Escobar, is composed of four essays that, although independent, are connected by three common issues: the critique of the construction of the idea of “aura”, basis of Western aesthetic thought; the notion of “latency”, linked to the recognition or not of certain productions by institutions and agents of the art system, giving meaning and consecration to some productions to the detriment of others, such as indigenous ones; and the relations between art and politics, understanding political art as its role in questioning the regimes of aesthetic representation and their institutionalities, seeking the construction of counter-hegemonic artistic possibilities and practices. Although the translation published here is only the first part of the essay “Dissident Aura (art and politics)”, we hope that it can contribute to the circulation of Escobar’s thought and the reflections that permeate it.
