Reverberación del valor de uso: vida cotidiana, corporeidad y disfrute en el ethos barroco

Abstract

Use value, body and enjoyment make up a possible conceptual universe from which to tackle the baroque ethos. A generous regime in the use of objects and natural and cultural resources is at its base: in the ornament, clothing, decorations, in the use of words, in the government of gestures or in the practices of the kitchen. Like art, baroque behavior is prodigal, splendid, garigoleado. Tis work reviews those aspects of Bolívar Echeverría’s reflection that underline in the baroque ethos his strategy that affirms the bodily and material dimension of the use value. Strategy that reverberates and expands towards ways of life and organization, where eros, ecstasy and abundance acquire prominence and primacy.
