El imperialismo de la mirada

Main Article Content

Carlos Valencia R.

Abstract

This essay aims at exploring the visual metaphor in an age that criticizes the eye, amidst an ever-growing devaluation of the image, and searches for a new ontology of the gaze. The paradoxical blindness of both eye and mind are probed. Likewise, it is a study of the disenchanted gaze in an enlightened age that debases what is human and trivializes life.

Keywords:
Gaze, eye, visual metaphor, image, blindness, perception, senses
