Interrogando los sentidos de Identidad: Un encuentro entre subjetividades y retratos pictóricos del s. XIX en la Universidad

This article is the culmination of a broader research project carried out with students of the Visual Arts Education degree, with whom we traced an exploratory drift to investigate the senses and notions that orbit the complex notion of Identity. Within the framework of this research, (still in development), I reconstruct what was a collaborative and inclusive experience of investigation, in which materiality (19th century portraits belonging to the collection of pictorial works of the University Museum) was inscribed as a mediating agent that allowed us to re-read concepts, notions, knowledge and desires in order to re-think and co-construct knowledge from the intersubjective at the University. In this exercise of reflexivity, situated and embodied, a distance is taken from the schemes of semiotic analysis ascribed to descriptive readings, nor are strategies of codification and categorization established that fragment, segment and theme the experiences of inquiry. This text is the unfolding of a trajectory where teachers and students open up to the possibility of exploring, creatively and from a sense of becoming, the very processes of identity subjectivization by attending to the encounters with materiality.
