Abstract

Contemporary culture is characterized today by having lost its fixed location: disciplines of knowledge, geographical places and cultural identities are fluidly mobilized in the process that we now recognize as globalization. While the digital society and global capitalism today push the borders and definitions inherited from modernity, it is necessary to verify artistic backgrounds that, prior to these phenomena, already incorporated affective, communal and transcultural dynamics. From the notion of "missive poetry" proposed by the Chilean artist Guillermo Deisler in 1986, this article studies the corpus of postcards that he printed and distributed from his exile in Bulgaria (1974-1986), to question how it is that this materiality strategically assists the artist to overcome the isolation of exile and to configure a delocalised artistic community through cooperation and mail-art.
