Spoiled identity: Artificial lights by Daniel Sada
Abstract
This writing presents a novel which parodies the symbolic and cultural structures that shape the subject’s bodies and everydayness. Artificial Lights, from the Mexican writer Daniel Sada, is a text where one conjectures whether the individual’s social acceptance depends on the trade power, and not on free will. Considering that society establishes the means of tracing categories in the art world, we value the pertinence of a social-semiotics approach which allowes to emphasize on the body's image, the construction of identity and the relationships of power.
