Summary:Works of art are not born from a cabbage. Artistic singularity is a historical-social product like any other creation of human culture. Trivial materials, pastel colors, glitters; the beauty, in short, the vulgar of the everyday that the Centro Cultural Ricardo Rojas (C.C.R.R) of the University of Buenos Aires made legitimate, did not arise naturally. It prevailed against the proud tone of the trans-avant-garde, or the pierced transcendence of realism with political sensibility. These artists committed heresy, they caused discomfort. Mariana Cerviño explains the emergence of this singularity. And it does so in the best tradition of sociology, historicizing and understanding that human beings make their own history, but do not do it under circumstances chosen by themselves. That is why it can give an account of the homosexual experience of the end of the dictatorship, linking it productively with the social condition of newcomers to the world of culture of the most dynamic artists of "el Rojas". And thus, to understand that these outsiders establish a relationship of affection with the culture, since it was a "refuge where they could survive the bitter feeling of loneliness, of insult, to alleviate in part the suffering that in so many cases ,took their lives directly."
