GUALDRON RAMIREZ, MIGUEL. PROTESTING AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT BEAUTY IS NOT OR, WHY IS THE WORLD SO BEAUTIFUL?. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2022, vol.71, suppl.9, pp.161-180.  Epub June 25, 2024. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.vol71n9supl.106747.

In this text I reconstruct a decolonial conception of beauty in the thought of Robin Wall Kimmerer and Édouard Glissant, according to which beauty constitutes a condition of the world that, nevertheless, we must tend to. For them, following different traditions, beauty is both what is threatened in the face of the Western colonial project, and what allows for a decolonial resistance. Reconstructing the beauty of the world is necessary, and ultimately impossible: the search for beauty involves not only attending to the cry of the differences, but also to the instances where differences refuse to be grasped.

Keywords : R. W. Kimmerer; É. Glissant; beauty; esthetic; decoloniality.
