MEDINA, José. Aesthetics of resistance: reimagining critical philosophy with María del Rosario Acosta López’s grammars of listening. Estud.filos [online]. 2022, n.66, pp.155-165.  Epub 02-Sep-2022. ISSN 0121-3628.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.349613.

This paper analyzes the innovative way of doing critical philosophy that María del Rosario Acosta López proposes in her aesthetics of resistance and grammars of the unheard. The paper examines the contributions of two sets of conversations with Acosta López’s critical philosophy. In the first place, staging a dialogue between Acosta López and Black feminist philosophy, the article offers a defence of reconceptualizing philosophy in the 21st Century through a dialogue with the voices and perspectives of the excluded and silenced-a reconceptualization that reimagines the critical role of philosophy. In the second place, the paper calls attention to the crucial significance of Acosta López’s aesthetics of resistance for contemporary debates in contemporary political epistemology, putting in conversation her grammars of the unheard with my epistemology of resist- ance and María Lugones’s concept of complex communication. This second conversation also underscores a new way of understanding the critical and transformative function of philosophy by centering the voices and perspectives of the excluded and silenced.

Palabras clave : listening; aesthetics; critical philosophy; resistance; silencing.
