Barroco cuántico. Trascendencia barrosa y obsesión barroca Colín Moreno, Carlos

Abstract

This research examines a perspective of Baroque in the 20th and 21st century. The thesis is that Baroque is more than an artistic style in the 17th century, or that it simply appears in moments of crisis. It can be understood that the appearance of Baroque as an irregular pearl covers its true manifestation, which is formed by a group of minerals known as amphiboles and, hence, its ambiguous structure. Making an analogy between Baroque and theoretical physics, it seeks to find the modus operandi of Baroque as a system of mechanisms that operate as morbid phenomena within culture, politics, art, religion and society. Baroque exists as a series of expanded fields that allow the control and manipulation of the social ethos, and through an analysis of it, an attempt is made to find emancipatory solutions that seek the liberation from a neocolonial, tecno-feudal, and imperialist apparatus in our global era.
