Resumen

ZARATE-MOEDANO, Rodrigo  y  PEREZ-MORALES, Luis Joseph. Photographic creation: space to make visible the appreciation for whiteness. Índex [online]. 2018, n.6, pp.30-36. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v0i06.166.

This article describes how a process of photographic creation can operate as a space and method for the construction of knowledge about how “appreciation for whiteness” and the privilege of “being white” are reproduced in Mexico. From a decolonial position, it analyzes the way in which eugenic ideology has detonated impulses to “purify” the national population and its symbolic representation throughout history. It makes proposals about how a process of photographic creation can generate reflections, criticisms and political actions aimed at the social transformation of reality: visualizing and eroding the domain of the coloniality of seeing; and questioning the reproduction of advantages and disadvantages in diversity.

Palabras clave : Photography; Portrait; Racism; Coloniality; Decoloniality; Arts-based research.
