This proposal explores the "Aesthetics of Resistance" within the framework of the theory of the Semiotics of Resistance proposed by Eero Tarasti, situating it in the context of postcolonial semiosis. The research delves into Gramsci's concept of hegemony as a key component in understanding the dynamics of power and resistance in cultural practices. Furthermore, it examines the crucial role played by intellectuals in the construction and perpetuation of cultural hegemonies, as well as in the articulation of alternative forms of resistance.Tarasti's Semiotics of Resistance offers a fruitful theoretical framework for analyzing how aesthetic practices can be understood as forms of resistance in the face of dominant power structures. Through the analysis of musical examples within Música Pobre and specifically within Latin American Minimismo, the semiotic strategies used by subaltern groups to challenge and subvert hegemonic narratives imposed by colonialism and other forms of oppression are examined.This study seeks to deepen the understanding of the relationships between power, culture and resistance, highlighting the importance of considering the aesthetic dimensions in the analysis of cultural resistance. It also stresses the need to reflect on the role of intellectuals in the construction of counter-hegemonies that promote cultural diversity and social justice.
