Resumen
Este ensayo es una lectura del proyecto fotográfico Los intocables del artista cubano Eric Ravelo que
muestra cuerpos, cuerpos adultos y cuerpos niños, con una particular forma de relacionarse que se nos
hace evidente a través de la posición en que se presentan los cuerpos y la forma en que estos cuerpos
están ataviados. Estas características exponen ciertas relaciones de poder –poder vestimentario– que
ordena los cuerpos y las relaciones entre ellos. En este ensayo se propone que los núcleos de poder-saber
evidenciados por Ravelo en su proyecto fotográfico, articulados por el artista como relaciones sacrificiales
ordenadas por una cierta forma de vestir los cuerpos, vislumbra una grilla de inteligibilidad
donde los núcleos de poder producen espacios de excepción a la ley de prohibición del incesto. Además,
argumenta que esta forma de develamiento crítico a través del arte que realiza Ravelo puede pensarse
como un acto de un parrhesiasta tal y como lo trabaja Foucault en su libro El coraje de la verdad, entendido
como un forma de enunciación de verdad en un acto creador.
This essay is a reading of the photographic project The untouchables created by the Cuban artist Eric Ravelo which shows bodies, adult bodies and child bodies, with a particular way of relating to each other, that is shown to the observer through the position in which the bodies are presented and the way the bodies are dressed. These characteristics show a certain set of power relations, dress power that arranges the bodies and the relations among them. The author proposes that the power-knowledge nuclei evidenced through Ravelo’s photographic project, articulated by the artist as sacrificial relationships given by a certain way in which the bodies are dressed, brings to light an intelligibility grid where the power nuclei produces spaces of exception of the incest prohibition law. Furthermore, the author argues that this form of critical unveiling through art that Ravelo carries out can be thought of as an act of a parrhesiasta, concept developed by Foucault in his book The courage of truth.
