This dissertation contributes to decolonizing aesthetics as a conceptual and political space by engaging with oppositional transformations of its prevalent categorial meanings, logical principles, institutional praxis, and analytic methods, as articulated and enacted in a selection of creative and theoretical projects realized by Afro-Cuban and Afro-Jamaican women artists and thinkers. The work gathered for this transdisciplinary discussion includes videos by Gloria Rolando, poetry by Georgina Herrera, narrative fiction by Erna Brodber, and philosophical essays by Sylvia Wynter. These projects encompass a plurality of differently situated standpoints for, and heterogeneous approaches to re-inventing the overburdened field of aesthetic knowledge, experience, and activity, but I contend that they form a confluence of challenges to globally dominant co-articulations and co-constructions of the aesthetic with the human. This human-aesthetic nexus, I argue, colonizes, controls, and regulates cognitive and ego-formative processes, creative practices, modes of perception, sensibilities, social relations, knowledge traditions, cosmologies, memories, and other domains of experience that amount to a worldview or cultural imaginary. Methodologically, my approach takes shape within frameworks of (de)coloniality, colonial difference, and border thinking developed by scholars such as Anibal Quijano and Walter Mignolo. I also implement the paradigmatic interstitial modalities of theorizing multilayered oppressions elaborated by Third-World/Women of Color feminists, including Emma Perez and M. Jacqui Alexander. In rethinking the human from its obscured, colonized underside, I rely on Sylvia Wynter's theoretical formulation of "Man" to illustrate the hierarchical classificatory logic separating "full" human beings from their dehumanized counterparts predicated on naturalized racial differences and an array of other invented criteria.The basic theoretical aim of decolonial aesthetics, in my understanding, is to facilitate oppositional challenges to and transformations of modern/colonial regimes of perception and artistic creativity designed and implemented in conjunction with the reign of Man as the globally dominant expression of humanness. My project is predicated on the possibility of generating new approaches to this shared objective through relational interchange between multiple and heterogenous strategies for disentangling the human from the modern/colonial complex comprising the aesthetics of Man.
