The last xo'on of the end of the world. Bodies, time and space in selknam decolonial aesthetics

Abstract

In the field of anthropology, the crisis of representation marked a certain ethnographic skepticism that enabled new languages ​​of subversion. The treatment of visual narration in the literature of the Vietnamese feminist theorist and artist Trinh T. Minha-ha on non-Western worlds is part of these new times. In this essay I wish to reflect on the daily life of Lola Kiepja, the last xo´on Selknam from Tierra del Fuego, to propose a decolonial aesthetic. I am interested in reviewing her story using the tools that come from black feminism (such as the concept of intersectionality) and decolonial feminism.
