Abstract

This exchange is a clear expression of the contemporary presence of `Pataphysics in the visual arts, literature and anthropology. Two parodic entities from Mexico and Spain, and Ecuador and Colombia —the Adopt a Writer Foundation and Full Dollar, respectively— show their fidelity to the irreverent spirit of the College of `Pataphysics (1948 of the vulgar era). This essay expresses, through a curatorial work of juxtaposed images and dialogues, the possibilities of the irrational. The academy and its soul carved in political correctness need to resume the critical impetus of parody and other displaced strategies, lest they end up digging their own grave.
