Políticas de la representación visual: para una (est)ética decolonial. El caso de los braceros haitianos en los cañaverales dominicanos
Abstract
This article offers theoretical and methodological reflections on the representation of otherness through imagery, using the case study of Haitian braceros in Dominican sugarcane fields. The primary challenge is to develop a decolonial aesthetic that concurrently establishes an ethical framework for the production of anthropological knowledge. The paper delves into the ethical and aesthetic dimensions of visually representing subaltern communities, critiquing the persistence of a colonial gaze and advocating for a decolonial approach that fosters more equitable and ethical portrayals. Moreover, it posits that a decolonized visual representation opens avenues for engagement and collaboration between the depicted subjects and researchers, leading to performative outcomes that drive social change.
