With a new introduction by Jose Luis Falconi, Crítica y política: Conversaciones con Nelly Richard [Criticism and politics: Conversations with Nelly Richard] presents a series of conversations between Richard and two of her most important contemporary interlocutors, Alejandra Castillo and Miguel Valderrama, about the common traits and craft of criticism. 

Staged as a series of conversations –that is, guided by the interplay of questions and answers, of placements and displacements—this volume seeks to make apparent Nelly Richard’s thoughts on the areas of her work that have made her body of criticism one of the most important in Latin America. Divided into four chapters, the volume successively addresses the state of criticism, feminism, art, and politics in the neoliberal landscape of Chilean society. Crítica y política can be considered an astounding exposition of the routes that Nelly Richard’s work has traversed up to the present day.
