INTRODUCTION
This blog is a translation of Cannibal Aesthetics, addressed to English-speaking public. The first thing that I have to clarify is that it has nothing to do with any of the perversions shown in cinematography or in reality that tend to be associated with the word cannibal. On the contrary, it refers to the way of conceiving the world of the Amazonian peoples, which serves as a basic reference for the construction of aesthetic proposals.

My motto is to think from Latin America, with a critical eye, open to the issues of the new technologies, which set out the other large component, the aesthetics of a cyborg, although the term has been expanded to include within this a series of new components not only technical but cultural.
This blog aims to discuss the issues of a postmodern aesthetic, which includes art and design, a philosophy of form, reflections on the new dialectic and cultural issues of various kinds. Believes that, despite the predominance of post-modernity, there are clear trends toward overcoming of this paradigm, and emergence of new theories and practices in art and design.
This proposal is different from Latin American Cultural Studies and proposes the collective construction of new concepts to analyze interculturality, alternative epistemologies and substantive issues such as subalternity. Also, as the case of post-modernity, it is essential to development of other options that will ensure better reflect what happens in the reality of our countries in a globalized environment.
