Abstract

This article proposes a critical review of the postulates of the Mixe thinker, linguist, and translator Yásnaya Aguilar Gil through her works published in different spaces of essay reflection on the intersection between art and literature with political criticism through decolonial thought. The relationships between analysis and literary creation through the speculative essay (Bicecci, 2021) allow us to find lines of development and knowledge that traverse both the imaginaries of possible futures, outside the normative frameworks of utopias-dystopias, and the characteristics that link contemporary artistic and literary production, late capitalism, and the distribution of goods. The value of resorting to situated thinking is highlighted in order to find possible solutions to contemporary crises in their ethical-relational sense with the human and non-human lives that sustain the territories of the global south.
