Description
In Eros Ideologies Laura E. PĂ©rez explores the decolonial through Western and non-Western thought concerning personal and social well-being. Drawing upon Jungian, people-of-color, and spiritual psychology alongside non-Western spiritual philosophies of the interdependence of all life-forms, she writes of the decolonial as an ongoing project rooted in love as an ideology to frame respectful coexistence of social and cultural diversity. In readings of art that includes self-portraits by Frida Kahlo, Ana Mendieta, and Yreina D. CervĂĄntez, the drawings and paintings of Chilean American artist Liliana Wilson, and Favianna Rodriguezâs screen-printed images, PĂ©rez identifies art as one of the most valuable laboratories for creating, imagining, and experiencing new forms of decolonial thought. Such art expresses what PĂ©rez calls eros ideologies: understandings of social and natural reality that foreground the centrality of respect and care of self and others as the basis for a more democratic and responsible present and future. Employing a range of writing styles and voicesâfrom the poetic to the scholarlyâPĂ©rez shows how art can point to more just and loving ways of being.
