Giro poético/político en la reconstrucción del sujeto en la escena de la post dictadura chilena: Ramón Griffero y Éxtasis o la senda de la santidad

Through Ramón Griffero’s text and staging of Éxtasis o la senda de la santidad (1994) I search for the signs and traces of the strong reconfigurations produced in Chilean theatre at the time of the fall of the macro-narratives, which coincides with the end of Pinochet’s regime. At this turning point in Griffero’s poetics, I strive to identify the constructive strategies that he uses to produce and display his own subjectivity and that of others. Cultural studies and theorists such as Foster, Cornago, Owens, Benjamin, Grüner, and Griffero himself inform my study of the displacements and disruptions that Griffero produces in canonic constructions of discourses and texts, tracing new ground on which these dimensions operate as aesthetics, ethics, and politics.
