| Summary: | Decolonial aesthetics trace their genealogy back to the so-called “cultural studies” (cultural studies) coming from a reflection that began in the 1960s on the cultural modes of European colonization in Asia and Africa. From the emblematic books of Frantz Fanon and Octave Manonni, the incidence of the colonial situation in individual and collective subjectivation processes enters the space of Latin languages. In our context, coloniality is understood as a historically concomitant and even post-colonization phenomenon. According to Aníbal Quijano, coloniality consists of the ways in which the material conditions of colonization are accepted and reproduced by the colonized populations and subjectivities (Quijano 1992; 2015). Decolonizing, consequently, consists in unveiling and dismantling those modes, among which the coloniality of sensibility has a historically and socially important part. That is why a “detachment” from modern and postmodern ways of thinking about creative sensibility is necessary. Both denominations (modernity and postmodernity) come from a European history (or in broader terms, North-Atlantic) and can only be applied to a local context of reflection from Europe, the United States and Canada. Las estéticas descoloniales remontan su genealogía hasta los llamados “estudios culturales” (cultural studies) provenientes de una reflexión iniciada en la década de 1960 sobre los modos culturales de la colonización europea en Asia y África. Desde los libros emblemáticos de Frantz Fanon y Octave Manonni, la incidencia de la situación colonial en los procesos de subjetivación individuales y colectivos ingresa al espacio de las lenguas latinas. En nuestro contexto, se entiende la colonialidad como un fenómeno históricamente concomitante e incluso posterior a la colonización. Según Aníbal Quijano, la colonialidad consiste en las formas mediante las cuales las condiciones materiales de la colonización son aceptadas y reproducidas por las poblaciones y las subjetividades colonizadas (Quijano 1992;2015). ...
