«Orden y caos» is the essay by José Miguel García Cortés on the monstrous in art, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (224 pages).
The essay argues that the monstrous is what societies marginalize for not fitting into the established order, and that its representation in art reveals what is repressed and silenced in culture. It analyzes works by Munch, Kafka, Bacon, Lynch, and Cronenberg, which transgress limits and offer a disturbing vision of the body and the social environment.
It belongs to Anagrama's Argumentos collection (no. 199) and was a finalist for the XXV Anagrama Essay Prize.
For readers interested in art theory, cultural studies, and the representation of the monstrous in contemporary creation.
