Abstract
The following article wishes to examine the thought of Argentine-Colombian art critic Marta Traba through a discussion of two concepts: the culture of resistance and the aesthetics of deterioration. The paper makes a reconstruction of the theoretical and contextual network in which both categories emerge, understanding them as part of a critical development of considerable complexity. I contend that Traba makes an original contribution through her elaboration of theoretical traditions stemming from Europe, North America and Latin America, which allowed her to develop an approach capable of setting the modernisation of Latin American visual arts from the post-war period until the 70s into socio-historical perspective.
