In the fifth edition of Caderno Sesc_Videobrasil, editor Lisette Lagnado articulates previously unpublished essays, excerpts from artworks, and a manifesto, all of which revolve around aspects of the feminine and its repercussions on culture and intimacy. She explores the reoccurrence of “scandalous lucidity” when faced with the death of one’s mother – the genesis to Flávio de Carvalho’s Série Trágica, and the theme of an essay from Eliane Robert Moraes and of Pas pu saisir la mort, by Sophie Calle, featured in an interview with Lagnado.
Lagnado contrasts Simone de Beauvoir’s questionings in The second sex (1949) and the Declaration of the Women’s Assembly at the 2009 World Social Forum, which associates feminism with the “struggle against the globalized patriarchal capitalist system.” She discusses the political aspects of art teaching in an interview granted by the Colombians Beatriz González and María Angélica Medina to María Inés Rodríguez, and colonial identities, which are the topic of Christine Meisner’s work and of the Preface by Lucas Bambozzi and Daniela Castro.
