Abstract

The transformations in political, economic, and social contexts, driven by globalization, the feminist revolution, totalitarian regimes, and the valorization of history between the sixties and eighties, contributed to a desire for disciplinary revision in architecture. Immersed in these new fields and themes, a new expanded viewpoint led by the female gender emerges, where we find the figure of Beatriz Colomina. The article arises from an interest in exploring the understanding of possible historiographical starting points of Tafuri in Colomina and identifying some historiographical triggers between the authors. To what extent everything in Colomina's life, as she said in an interview with José Juan Barba, would really be random? To investigate this dialogue, writings of Tafuri and about the Italian architect from 1971, when "Theories and History of Architecture" was published and translated into Spanish, to the 1980s, when the Spanish author moved to New York for her studies, were revisited. The text's approach seeks a narrative freedom that addresses some operative criticisms where the authors acted, contributing to the possibility that the study nourishes new research and interpretations of past sources.
