Abstract

As main object of study, this article explores the particular logic underneath the production of Violeta Parra’s work. Through the analysis of one of its modes, the burlap, the critical discourse intends to demonstrate, or turn evident, that in this logic of artistic production operates, as an active model, the logic of play, specifically children’s play. At the same time, the analysis also focuses on the nature of pain that circulates in Parra’s work and its place in the logic of production.
