| description | The article presents an outlook of the symbolic connotation given to the animal image throughout the history of art, from prehistoric times up to today, focusing on contemporary tendencies. It tackles the issue by analyzing the concept of conflictive beauty and its relation with abjection, horror and repulsion notions, and by studying animal roles as metaphors in art works and performances, their usage in pigments’ production, and the excesses towards animals committed by some artists in their proposals. Given its research/ creation approach, it examines the relation between human beings and one of the oldest parasites (the Ctenocephalides canis flea), and from that standpoint it suggests phobias and hybridization as foundation for graphic and creative explorations. It concludes that art, particularly since the early avant gardes of the twentieth century, has endowed its works with a language in which the meaning of “animalness” is portrayed through aesthetic categories that have gone beyond the beautiful to embrace the monstrous, the sinister and the ugly. |

El artículo presenta un panorama del tratamiento simbólico que se ha dado a la imagen del animal a través de la historia del arte, desde la prehistoria hasta nuestros días, haciendo énfasis en las corrientes contemporáneas. Aborda y analiza el concepto de lo bello conflictivo y su relación con nociones como la abyección, el horror o la repulsión. Estudia la función del animal como metáfora en obras de arte y performances, su uso en la producción de pigmentos, y los excesos a los que han llegado algunos artistas que recurren al animal para la elaboración de sus propuestas. Por tratarse de una investigación-creación, se analiza la relación entre los humanos y uno de sus parásitos más antiguos, la pulga Ctenocephalides canis, y a partir de esta relación, se plantean la fobia y la hibridación como elementos para la exploración gráfica y creativa. Se concluye que el arte, a partir de las vanguardias de principios del siglo XX, ha dotado a la obra de un lenguaje en el que se proyecta el significado de animalidad a través de categorías estéticas que han superado lo bello, para integrar otras categorías, como lo monstruoso, lo siniestro o lo feo. 2021-11-10T01:00:00Z 2021-11-10T01:00:00Z 2011-06-14 Artículo revisado por pares info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/51 http://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/5537 spa http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/51/41 Acceso abierto Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf Universidad Antonio Nariño 2346-092X 1909-3888 REVISTA NODO; Vol. 5 Núm. 10 (2011); 39 - 54 |
