Blog Article

In this work, taking as baseline the thought of Aimé Césaire and Franz Fanon —keeping in mind the closeness of the Negritude movement with surrealism—, we propose to approach the modernity/coloniality problem, appealing to the denominated surrealist image of beauty.In the first part the colonial situation is approached, in the second the colonial read more situation from the logic of surrealist image, and in the campicon.com third the possibility of a decolonial universal or pluriversal is raised.In general terms, exploring the existent link between the “surrealist image” and the colonial structure of modernity —that generates the denominated colonial situation—, we aspire to approach what could be a decolonial aesthetic that, as general problem, will be tackled in later works.
