Una revisión de las nociones de verdad y representación en textos teóricos sobre arte del siglo XXI

Abstract

The pictorial turn (J. T. Mitchell) in the late 20th century resulted in images no longer interpreted as objective copies of reality but social constructs. Consequently, there is a change in the influence that is established between them and the texts and, also, regarding their frontiers, that is, the definitions of the different artistic genres. For this reason, we consider that this study scenario presents two main aspects: on the one hand, a reflection respect the idea and interpretation of truth or reality and, on the other, a supposed hybridity in the way of interpreting artistic works. We propose to review the influences of these statements on the theoretical productions of the 21st century that may be of interest for the study of the relations between texts and images and, particularly, regarding the assessment of truth in artistic pictorial, photographic or literary representations.
