Resumen
La mirada, al igual que el marco, controlan el mensaje que se comunica a través de una obra de arte basada en la historia colonial que la precede. El ethos colonial de lo otro está vivo y bien en el espacio/lugar postcolonial. Artistas visuales originarios de las Bahamas tales como Blue Curry, Edrin Symonette, Dionne Benjamin-Smith y Sue Katz Lightbourn, junto con Max Taylor trabajan para desmantelar y resistir la inferioridad percibida en el anterior espacio paradisíaco colonizado. La combinación del análisis postcolonial, la visión turística y el performance de subjetividades sexualizadas en la zona de contacto del paraíso demuestra cómo los espacios y los cuerpos caribeños han sido subordinados, y no constituyen el discurso dominante y hegemónico de la alteridad caribeña. Estos artistas bahameses arrojan luz sobre el dañino mito del paraíso que continúa operando en el estado independiente poscolonial.
