Hegemonía y afectos en el arte contemporáneo: The Touching Community y las políticas del cuerpo

Through affective circulation, which results in the accumulation of histories of contact that stick one object to another, bodies cluster around collectivities. In this way, affects create a distinction between us and them, which implies the definition of hegemony and everything that remains aside from it. This investigation stands within the otherness relegated to the margin, since affects both define and dismantle the categories by which different social groups are girded. Thus, affects can reverse the hierarchical structure in which society is organized.
