Abstract
La presente investigación hace una revisión crítica de la manera como el imaginario de la “naturaleza tropical” americana que se consolidó desde la época colonial europea determina hoy nuestra relación destructiva con la naturaleza. Se busca comprender, desde una perspectiva decolonial, cómo estas ideas heredadas del conocimiento científico ilustrado se han trasladado a la esfera de la ecología política y del neoliberalismo, específicamente al caso de Colombia, donde hay una estrecha relación entre territorio, biodiversidad y el conflicto armado interno. Tomando como punto de partida las ilustraciones realizadas por la autora para el proyecto Colombia BIO, se busca desvelar, a través de una práctica artística situada, las múltiples capas de violencia que atraviesan a la naturaleza colombiana en el contexto contemporáneo.
Since colonial times, the imaginary of the “American tropical nature” has determined our destructive relationship with nature. The present research makes a critical review of this cultural construct, and seeks to understand, from a decolonial perspective, how these ideas inherited from the enlightened scientific knowledge have been transferred to the sphere of political ecology and neoliberalism. It focuses on a specific analysis of the case of Colombia, where there is a close relationship between territory, biodiversity, and the internal armed conflict. Taking as a starting point the illustrations made by the author for the project Colombia BIO, the aim is to reveal, through a situated artistic practice, the multiple layers of violence that permeate Colombian nature in the contemporary context.
