Abstract

This paper intends to initially make a brief genealogy of the coloniality of the voice, as the effect of knowledge-power of European civility in the process of colonization affected bodies. In turn, tries to rescue contemporary resonances of Amerindian rituals anthropophagic in Latin American art practices, which opens a territory of aesthetic-political resistance on ways to capture sensitive local bodies have suffered. It’s, in short, to show a path of Latin American contemporary art, and his becoming as anthropophagic thought, while insurgent aesthetic practice that confronts the “human form” colonization of bodies. This work is a commitment to think of anthropophagy as gesture aesthetic-political properly critical of Latin American corporalities.
