Abstract

La estética no es independiente de la época en la que se ubica ni de la ideología a la que apoya o contesta; por el contrario puede convertirse en un vector de gran importancia facilitador de cambios de cosmovisión, según hemos podido comprobar en las revoluciones sociopolíticas del siglo pasado. A diferencia de la estética de la posmodernidad, con su condición epidérmica y escasamente crítica, los tiempos de la crisis ecológica del Capitaloceno y de la necesaria transición a sociedades más sustentables reclaman una creatividad y una estética muy distinta (Albelda, Parreño y Marrero, 2018). El presente artículo defiende la necesidad de recuperar el papel identitario y teleológico que en el pasado han jugado el arte y la estética. En este contexto, identificaremos los aspectos fundacionales de una estética circular, y su indisoluble unión con la ética ecológica de la que parte. Asimismo, argumentaremos sobre la amplitud del concepto de lo circular que, trascendiendo los aspectos más conocidos vinculados al reciclaje de materiales, adquiere una importante función moral vinculado al antropocentrismo débil, expresando la aceptación de la fugacidad individual, e incluso de la cultura y de la especie, desde una perspectiva holística (Spier, 2011). Aesthetics are not independent of the time in which they are located, nor of the ideology they support or answer; on the contrary, they can become a very important vector that facilitates changes in the worldview, as we have seen in the sociopolitical revolutions of the last century. Unlike the aesthetics of postmodernity, with their epidermic and scarcely critical condition, the times of the ecological crisis of the Capitalocene and of the transition to more sustainable societies demand a very different creativity and aesthetics (Albelda, Parreño y Marrero, 2018). This article defends the need to recover the identity and teleological role that art and aesthetics have played in the past. In this context, we will identify the foundational aspects of a circular aesthetic, and the indissoluble union with the ecological ethics from which it departs. Likewise, we will argue about the amplitude of the concept of circularity that, transcending the most known aspects linked to the recycling of materials, acquires an important moral function linked to the weak anthropocentrism, expressing the acceptance of individual fugacity, and even of culture and species, from a holistic perspective (Spier, 2011).
