Resumen
HARRUCH MORALES, Julián. HYBRIDISM AND MULATTOCRACY: BIOPOLITICS, RACE, AND MESTIZAJE IN FERNANDO GONZÁLEZ’S WORK. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2020, n.78, pp.478-500. Epub 16-Nov-2021. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n78a19.
This article examines, from a biopolitical perspective, Colombian intellectual Fernando Gonzalez’s theorization of Latin American mestizaje. It centers on the proposals for a eugenic hybridization and the construction of a racial(ized) democracy through which González partook in the debates held in Colombia, during the first decades of the twentieth century, on the nation’s social progress and its «racial problem». The article seeks to contribute, in this way, to the cartography of the presuppositions and contradictions underpinning the racist and eurocentric ideology of a wide sector of Colombian (and Latin American) intellectuals of the aforementioned historical period.
