Ways of representing: historicity and corporality, aesthetic intersections

Abstract

One of the main tools of colonialism and coloniality has been the denial of the ability to represent someone who has been perceived as Other; and that is part of the imaginary of subordination-subalternization that the modern-colonial project has built from a western-white vision that is assumed and intended to universalize. In the present work I intend to discuss the theme of History as an element of power, as Trouillot qualifies, and as the reproducer of a hegemonic narrative that has conditioned the categories of gender, sex, race and its influence on the capacity of representation of the subjects; derived from the colonial process exercised since the Atlantic Triangulation.
