Meeting Description:

What does it mean to make art in times of rupture or as rupture? How do we
create rupture? What emerges from rupture? A reflection about the impossible
invites rupture because it breaks with the established; with continuity.
Therefore, to rethink an exploration about literary discourses, linguistic
diversity, and other forms of artistic representation that have been discarded
and marginalized is an act that fractures hegemonic discourses and provides an
opportunity to ponder conflicting perspectives. Because of its dynamic nature,
the concept of rupture is a study in opposing dialectics: it questions and
reaffirms, engages and disengages,
creates and destroys. Linguistically, rupture can be approached
diachronically, studying various points throughout history, as well as
synchronically, studying the present, to examine the effect that rupture has
had on a language. From a practical perspective, rupture points to a practice
that is, above all, dissident.
