Abstract (EN):
To address the issue of art, sustainability, and ecosystems, we use the contributions
of theories that address the sensory experiences of individuals as a means of social,
political, and cultural analysis. What we want to say is that the use of a sensory-theoretical
approach can - in the context of analysing and reflecting on art, sustainability, and artistic
ecosystems - enable a theoretical and empirical advance in the sensory experiences
of social agents - artists, activists, or others - forming the basis of a comprehensive
contemporary political-cultural project, because this sensory reflection is centred
on difficulties, acts of resistance and the reversal of dominant-hegemonic ‘orders
of feeling’ (and creating). Here, we also bring into the discussion the contemporary
conceptualization around activism and artivism, as we consider it indispensable for
addressing the conceptual and empirical richness that underlies the chapters that make
up this book: the spaces and places of artistic ecosystems. In addition, it is essential not
to mention the concept of resistance against monopolies of power within the scope
of artistic production; at the same time, the themes of sustainability and pedagogy,
serving and illustrating the purpose of sensitive DIY as a democratizing agency in
contemporary times; it is very relevant to consider in this book sensitivity and its impact
on social agents, mainly how they communicate and create anti-hegemonic strategies,
with a vital gender component; the theoretical-empirical materialization, in different
time-spaces, of the concept of low-tech and high-tech about ‘wild design’ or about
sensitive DIY; all this analysis also involves collaborative creations and utopia: those new
micro-ecosystems and emerging means of sustainability that we mentioned earlier.
