Towards a Collective Talking Cure. Around the Poetry Book Las pandémicas

Abstract

The paper offers an analysis of the project and the poetry book Las pandémicas. Diario colectivo de un aislamiento masivo as an instrument in the collectivization of the subject of cure in answer to the social malaise of the pandemic and the quarantine measures during 2020. In order to further determine each of these dimensions several genealogical lines are proposed, which read the poem and the project “in relationship” with a) other writing caused by the issuing of tasks, stated not as a coercion upon those who respond to them, but rather as a critical negotiation with pre-existing conditions of production; b) other writing and speech which understand words on the realm of the cure, intertwining the epistemic and the therapeutic; and c) other writing that took part in the forming of a collective subject of the present time, against the orders of authority.
