Abstract
In recent decades, the crossings between social sciences and different disciplines related to design and the social life of images and things, with different artistic practices, have proliferated and become ways of rethinking the craft of research and the production of knowledge in different registers that transcend the textual device and become circuits such as laboratories, multimedia platforms, festivals, galleries, museums, public spaces and community interventions.
This panorama of exchanges occurs, however, in a context in which cultural othernesses reappear with force in public debate and set up tendencies to rethink difference in terms of radical alterities with their perverse consequences for the return of questions of representation that seemed obsolete after the postmodernism of the 1990s. The politicization of current experiments thus has a problematic status in relation to the various disciplinary closures against which they serve as openings and counterweights.
