We thus approach the Lezamian theory of image and knowledge by analyzing its myth-poetic-hermeneutical method and its concept-character “the Baroque Lord” (through the figures of Carlos Sigüenza, Sor Juana, José Kondori and Aleijadinho), and establishing relationships, from a decolonial perspective, with some contemporary political-philosophical proposals: Donna Haraway, Josefina Ludmer, Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui and Achille Mbembe.
