Imagen y realismo son temas recurrentes en las discusiones esteticas, filosoficas y politicas cada vez que hay una preocupacion por lo contemporaneo: sus origenes y destinos cruzados comparten la pregunta por el presente. La relacion clasica entre ambas cuestiones -la mimesis- se ha transformado hoy. En este libro se analizan obras visuales, cinematograficas, teatrales, poeticas y narrativas de America Latina que activan la experiencia de la temporalidad. En dialogo con dos ensayos de Raul Antelo y Bruno Bosteels, se enlazan aqui multiples enfoques que parecen privilegiar uno de los dos aspectos pero son atravesados por el otro, abriendo un espacio politico entre ambos.
