Lamentablemente, no hay suficientes estudios sobre las cosmovisiones amazónicas en medios urbanos como, por ejemplo, murales. En este artículo, analizo una selección de murales de artistas de orígenes diversos reunidos por la asociación Amazonarte Perú y ubicados en la ciudad amazónica de Pucallpa. Sostengo que, cuando los murales son entendidos desde las mismas cosmovisiones amazónicas y el perspectivismo amerindio que las sintetiza, revelan una original resiliencia socioecológica por los derechos culturales y territoriales de los pueblos indígenas amazónicos. Los murales no solo superan la dicotomía naturaleza/cultura y son el resultado de alianzas entre indígenas y no indígenas, sino que también trascienden el concepto de “representación” al mostrar y materializar la subjetividad y la agencia de los no humanos a través del arte urbano.","PeriodicalId":30612,"journal":{"name":"Transmodernity","volume":" 45","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141825125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"The Ego Conquiro as the Paradigm of Modern Imperialism and its Violence Against the Struggle for Epistemic Justice","authors":"Dennis L Stromback","doi":"10.5070/t431026","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5070/t431026","url":null,"abstract":"This article begins with a discussion of the implications of Enrique Dussel’s “I conquer, therefore I am” (ego conquiro) thesis as the paradigm of modern imperialism. According to Dussel, underlying the “myth of modernity” (mito de la modernidad) is an epistemological structure of a substantive ego that naturalizes European colonial expansion. Dussel admits that the “I conquer, therefore, I am” thesis began earlier than Descartes’s account of the cogito, which was theorized after the Spanish colonization of the Americas, but the substantive “I” that constitutes the ego conquiro nonetheless represents a theory of knowledge that served and continues to serve the political domination of bodies that have been historically victimized. Couched within the epistemic structure of Descartes’s cogito is a duality between soul and matter, where the former represents an immortal substance detached from the body, taken to be the recipe for rational truth, while the latter is reduced to a quantifiable object occupying a “zero-point” geometrical space. But the cogito became the epistemological standpoint that allowed for the justification of the many hidden forms of domination around the world, because it masks the social, economic, and geopolitical contexts and their history to the modern subject. This article will investigate the ego conquiro thesis and its link to epistemic violence, namely, epistemic racism and epistemicide, and will argue as a concluding point for a method of resistance that foregrounds philosophical pluralism to disrupt the internalization of the epistemologies of the Global North as the common-sense position(s) of today.","PeriodicalId":30612,"journal":{"name":"Transmodernity","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141824743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En Las películas de mi vida (2003) de Fuguet y La fiesta vigilada (2007) de Ponte, la cinegrafía se emplea para reflexionar sobre la representación cultural en contextos migratorios y políticos.

Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, este interés alcanzó también a los círculos intelectuales hispanos, como dan cuenta traducciones indirectas, reseñas, notas periodísticas y otros documentos publicados de manera casi simultánea en España, Argentina y México. Este trabajo reúne y estudia por primera vez esos materiales y reconstruye el proceso de recepción del Rāmāyaṇa en el mundo de habla hispana durante los años 1860-1880, identificando tres variantes de representación asociadas con tres figuras: en España, Manuel de la Revilla, cuyo acercamiento al Rāmāyaṇa se adhiere a la interpretación racial en boga en países como Alemania, Francia e Italia; en Argentina, Lucio Vicente López, quien da muestras de un sutil distanciamiento respecto a dicha interpretación; en México, José González de la Torre, quien da un paso más allá y ofrece una lectura abiertamente nacionalista del Rāmāyaṇa. Juntos, estos testimonios ponen de manifiesto un episodio fundamental, pero a la fecha ignorado, del orientalismo hispanohablante por el que India adquirió una función simbólica bien delineada.","PeriodicalId":30612,"journal":{"name":"Transmodernity","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141826386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He is primarily a poet and has published at least eighteen poetry volumes until now. Mendonça also wrote two novels, in which (collective) violence and its affective memory in Luanda play a crucial role. In O reino das casuarinas (2014), he expands on the urban scenario in 1987 during one month in times of the Cold War, repeatedly looking back to the decade before. And in As metamorfoses do elefante (2022), he describes ten days in 2020, when a mysterious epidemic stagnates quotidian routines in Luanda. The author’s hyperbolic style and irony, together with his almost encyclopedic knowledge of popular music, give to his texts most varied and grotesque insides into the city’s cultural and political history. It is not a coincidence, that his plots are organized around the occurrences of 27 May 1977, an important date for signaling the path toward peaceful democratization in Angola.","PeriodicalId":30612,"journal":{"name":"Transmodernity","volume":" 89","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141825670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En este ensayo, argumento que el uso de la ironía, las historias intercaladas y el “héroe” tan inepto que hace de protagonista en el libro de Ávila Laurel son ecos directos e intencionados de la obra cervantina, ahora traspasados a una geografía africana y un contexto colonial. Esta reflexión analiza elementos de la obra de Ávila Laurel para concluir que en Cuando a Guinea se iba por mar se lleva a cabo un proceso de apropiación, con fines transgresores, de la novela cervantina. A través de esta apropiación, el autor realiza una inversión del concepto de una literatura canónica en español, que siempre favorece a la literatura peninsular, especialmente del llamado Siglo de Oro. Precisamente este ensayo propone una interpretación nueva del legado de Don Quijote en la literatura hispanoafricana y, de manera más ambiciosa, sugiere la necesidad de enmarcar los estudios cervantinos dentro el campo del Global Hispanophone.","PeriodicalId":30612,"journal":{"name":"Transmodernity","volume":" 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141827562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
