RIOS BURGA, Jaime. The root crisis of the modern colonial being at the height of COVID-19. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.78-79, pp.47-75.  Epub Feb 12, 2021. ISSN 1665-0565.  https://doi.org/10.32870/eees.v28i78-79.7207.

This essay addresses the root crisis of the modern colonial being in full COVID-19. It seeks to understand some of its structural historical causes present in the heritage of patriarchy, capitalism and imperial coloniality. Pattern of being, knowing and power that has led to a total mismatch between: naturalism-human, human-human, human-technology nature leading to the self-destruction of life. Necroculture that leads us to propose the urgent political construction of a new cross-cultural universal civilizational conception of life of being, knowing and power where freedom, equality, solidarity, happiness and differences in their diversity unite what modernity / coloniality separated: the true with the good and the beautiful.

Keywords : being; modernity; coloniality; root crisis; transculturality; life.
