The End of The World as We Know it?:

El Covid-19 y la actual crisis civilizatoria

Santiago Castro-Gómez, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá

How many ends of the world has humanity already experienced? How many times has cultural contact been seen as apocalyptic? Apocalyptic scenarios can evoke ruptures, endings of what was known. They also suggest ideas of redemption, salvation, the beginning of something greater. However, the word apocalypse comes from Ancient Greek and means “revelation”, “uncovering”, that is, the discovery of something new. This last perception opens a new perspective: to see the world with other eyes, not as we know it, and to open up possibilities to understand (post)apocalyptic scenarios as figures of thought that can unfold new imaginaries of contact. With this lecture series we aim to (re)understand cultural contact under these perceptions: are they ruptures, revelations, redemptions? In other words, are contacts apocalyptic?
