Abstract

This paper aims to reflect, based on the Warburgian notion of culture as contamination, the singularities of contemporary artistic production in Tucumán, a province located in the northwest of Argentina. Since the Tucumanian Art is marked by the strong relationship between the artist’s imagination and Andean geography, this essay proposes the notion of stone-image as a conceptual interpellation to the alleged existence of a Tucumanian identity. Instead, it is here proposed to think in a more complex way, historically, the artistic tradition of Tucumán, in which survival (Nachleben) is a recurrent symptom in culture, while spontaneous artistic montage reveals once and again a way of constructing history through intervals.
