Ñeritudes gótico - tropicales: devenires extravagantes y muerte

Abstract

Gothic-tropical ñeritudes (thugness) are both a methafor and a research/creation monstruosity. Ñeritudes (thugness), are the resistance to the coloniality of the being, which is based on a full of progress dream embodied in the urban and enlightened people. This work dissects this modern class-biased urbanity, which produces the contemporary representation of “lo ñero” (relative to thug, gansta, guetto boy) and the stereotype “ñeritud” (thugness). These ñeros (thugs) inhabit the dungeons of Bogothica: The dark and sinister city immersed in the tedium and routine. Territory bursted by lo ñero (thugness) —a gothic-tropical monstruosity—, by the obscure and extravagant existence of lo ñero, that constantly questions the dream that the rest of inhabitants have fallen into. In the necropolitic vaults of the city you can find images, narrations and stabbed and drained off ñero bodies, bodies that do not matter, sacrificeable bodies. The ñerxs and gothic-tropical ñeritudes talk between scriptural corridors as a legion of ghostly voices that denounce their social extermination. They summon a Latin American tropical, dark and subversive crowd to make a rebellion of dead in life.
