In an exercise of recovery of Chilean performative practices, Sebastián Valenzuela-Valdivia invites us to reconsider curatorial and archival criteria to define new categories of analysis related to the experimentation of the body and the use of media such as photography, video and book-performance. So, "Del cuerpo al archivo" contributes on how to think about this experimentation within the framework of historicity and communicative power around sexual dissidence, cross-dressing and identity, an issue that not only addresses institutional limitations and the complex political atmosphere between 1973 and 1990, but also the conditions of its survival in exhibitions and documentary collections. Ultimately, this book is a contribution to reformulate the question of how performative practices have developed in Chile from its archives.
