Resumen

Este artículo examina lo sublime ecológico en su relación con la historia de la estética colonial, el pensamiento anticolonial y el colonialismo contemporáneo. Sostiene que, mientras que Edmund Burke utilizó lo sublime en apoyo del colonialismo (incluido el de los primeros colonos) en América del Norte y la esclavitud colonial, Samson Occom y Ottobah Cugoano utilizaron versiones de lo sublime para impugnar el colonialismo británico en América. La historia de esta contestación estética no ha sido representada en los estudios sobre lo sublime ecológico, los que, como muestra este artículo, tienen una relación conflictiva con el colonialismo histórico y contemporáneo. El artículo sostiene que lo sublime ecológico exhibe la “doble fractura” de la modernidad en su manejo inadecuado de la historia del colonialismo y el ambientalismo. Concluye evaluando el potencial de lo sublime ecológico para usos anticoloniales por parte de pensadores indígenas y afrodescendientes.
