| Sumario: | The present article contemplates the notions of the body and subjectivity in relation to the illness that prompted the photographic work of Gabriela Liffschitz. In Side Effects, the Argentinian photographer and journalist reproduces a series of self-portraits and texts from her experience with the cancer, explores the place of mastectomy, the body changes as the question of death. Liffschitz considers the interventions realized by the medical system departing from an exploration of herself, as attempt to narrate herself. From this place, slide a critique of symbolic violence that imposes and reproduces stealthily dominant senses about on female corporeality, illness body positioning and location of gaze. Liffschitz discussed in this territory with representation models that have dominated and the values, from the social and cultural analysis, from which she can rethink the place of the body. However, simultaneously, generates a proposal that acts as a counterpoint rather critical and self-transformation. Living her illness, in this sense, expresses the political dimension of the body and the place of subjectivity as a place of action and creative potential. |
