Anarcoides: amulets to cross the existential void and a compliment to everyday life

Abstract

With the opening of Pablo Gaytán (2022), the antagonism of professional and amateur contraction is problematized, a dichotomy that will be used extensively to analyze the politics of significance, domination-subordination relationships and the economy of language in the cases of production in clay of the exhibitions Bizarros & Críticos (Ospina, 1993) and American Field (Gormley, 1991) to identify the geopolitical mechanics of modernity-coloniality in the spectacular industry of the art of collusion, proposed by Baudrillard (2016) as part of a globalizing system of tautological signification.

To counterpoint the analysis, the distinction in the relational affront between coloniality and colonization is presented, experimenting with Fanon (1973) the incorporated depth of the psychosocial processes of subjectivation in the experience of the colonized, for the recognition of the colonial and modern condition, alienated and alienating, a condition taken to the absurd in the Stirner (2012) anarchoindividualism, who denies the existence of those conditions of existence in the barricade of an egotistical and skeptical subjectivity, but who ultimately defends, along with Goldman (2010), the last sphere of freedoms that is the individual.

Finally, the artisanal production of the Anarcoides series of clay figurines (2022) is recreated, going through in the process my feelings of subordination and alienation as symptoms of a curse from which arises the claim, the denunciation and the protest against the colonial world through the production of amulets through archaic and festive enunciation, proposed in Echeverría's social anthropology (2016), and the production of events, from Lalive's sociology of daily life (2008), as an exercise of craft defense and esoteric protection against the expansionist outposts of colonization, opening a fissure in the subjectivation structure for cultural-counter-cultural self-realization in the use value of anarcho-recognition of the colonial condition of a possible baroque anarcho-individualism.
