El giro espectral ha hecho posible el surgimiento de un espacio inédito desde el que aproximarse a las epistemologías precoloniales. Me refiero, por ejemplo, al rol crucial que grupos étnicos ya desaparecidos, como los guanches, han jugado en algunas de las manifestaciones artísticas y literarias más populares de la sociedad canaria contemporánea. En tanto que fantasmas, estos nativos han asumido un papel preponderante en la cultura moderna de las Islas, aunque, como pretendo demostrar, solo con la penetración del movimiento de vanguardia su naturaleza fantológica ha sido útil para empezar cuestionar su colonialidad histórica. En este artículo, que se rige por los presupuestos teóricos del psicoanálisis lacaniano y del pensamiento descolonial, pretendo acreditar el modo en que el epistemicidio indígena todavía representa un serio desafío para la constitución de la identidad canaria.
Indigenous epistemicide, ghost indentity. Guanches in Avant-Garde Art and Literature in the Canary Islands
Abstract: The spectral turn has made possible the emergence of an unpublished space from which to approach the precolonial epistemologies. I speak, for example, to the crucial role that ethnic groups already disappeared, like the Guanches, have played in some of the artistic and literary manifestations of contemporary canarian society. As ghosts, these natives have assumed a preponderant role in the modern culture of the Canary Islands, although, as I intend to show, only with the penetration of the Avant-Garde movements, its hauntological nature has been useful to question its historical coloniality. In this article, which follows the theoretical assumptions of Psychoanalysis and Decolonial Thought, I pretend to demonstrate the way in which, the indigenous epistemicide still represents a challenge for the constitution of the Canarian Identity.
