Decolonial Aesthetics, manifesto, 2011.
“Decolonial aestheSis asks why Western aesthetic categories like ‘beauty’ or ‘representation’ have come to dominate all discussion of art and its value, and how those categories organize the way we think of ourselves and others: as white or black, high or low, strong or weak, good or evil. Decolonial art, literature, architecture and other arts enact these critiques [...] to expose the contradictions of coloniality. Its goal, then, is not to produce feelings of beauty or sublimity, but ones of sadness, indignation, repentance, hope, and determination to change things in the future.” (Mignolo, Vázquez, et al., 2013)

Initiatives, research projects

  • Modernity/Coloniality group [Grupo modernidad/colonialidad], a multidisciplinary and multigenerational network of intellectuals active in Latin America. Includes sociologists Aníbal Quijano, Edgardo Lander, Ramón Grosfoguel and Agustín Lao-Montes, semiologists Walter Mignolo and Zulma Palermo, pedagogue Catherine Walsh, anthropologists Arturo Escobar and Fernando Coronil, literary critic Javier Sanjinés and philosophers Enrique Dussel, Santiago Castro-Gómez, María Lugones and Nelson Maldonado-Torres. It advances a decolonial perspective which starts from the discussion on the power relations installed in the 16th century with the conquest of what we now know as America. This implies a racialization that is at the base of the installation of a capitalist economic system and European modernity. This also allows distinguishing it from Postcolonialism, which has been generally dominated by authors from the old English and French colonies in Asia, Oceania and the Middle East, who argue from a culturalist perspective and begin colonial history 300 years later. See Escobar 2003, Pachón Soto 2008, Wikipedia-ES.
