It is understood that popular objects, such as visual images, are the competence of our disciplinary field, however, the plastic/poetic approach of these cultural pieces evidences the lack and/or categorical limitations that traditional aesthetic theory contemplates. The present work aims to investigate the artistic status of a popular, collective and contemporary practice recognized as ex-voto: a conglomerate of offerings of little houses/ models located in the Difunta Correa sanctuary (Vallecito, San Juan). This task implies revising traditional theoretical concepts, including Latin American aesthetic positions and delving into the conceptual limits of reflection.Downloads
