Abstract

Este artículo ofrece una aproximación a las formas barrocas como mediación para cuestionar y reflexionar sobre la perspectiva del vencido en la historia de Latinoamérica.

Para lograr esto, se explora la relación entre la experiencia colonial y las crisis actuales en la región, destacando la importancia de autores como Bolívar Echeverría, Bonfil Batalla, Serge Gruzinski, José Luis Romero, Pablo Casanova y Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui en la comprensión de la historia social de la Colonia. Asimismo, se analiza la emergencia de una vida social signada por el mestizaje, las disputas culturales y la coexistencia de códigos culturales en disputa que fueron apropiados por las formas barrocas. Además, se examinan las estrategias estético-políticas de la época barroca como posibles referencias históricas concretas que permiten imaginar otros modelos críticos y formas estéticas de intervención para prefigurar nuevas posibilidades de lo real en el presente. Este enfoque ofrece una perspectiva novedosa para comprender la crisis civilizatoria inherente de la socialidad colonial y sus implicaciones en la sociedad contemporánea.

Alternate abstract:

This article offers an approach to baroque forms as a mediation to question and reflect on the perspective of the vanquished in Latin American history. To achieve this, it explores the relationship between the colonial experience and the current crises in the region, highlighting the importance of authors such as Bolívar Echeverría, Bonfil Batalla, Serge Gruzinski, José Luis Romero, Pablo Casanova, and Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui in the understanding of the social history of the Colony. It also analyzes the emergence of a social life marked by miscegenation, cultural disputes, and the coexistence of disputed cultural codes appropriated by baroque forms. In addition, it examines the aesthetic-political strategies of the Baroque era as possible concret istorical references that allow us to imagine other critical models and aesthetic forms of intervention to prefigure new possibilities of the real in the present. This approach offers a novel perspective for understanding the inherent civilizational crisis of colonial sociality and its implications for contemporary society.
