Since when are landscapes illuminated by a smiling Sun drawn in nursery schools?
The stars grow little legs and wear big shoes.
In the Upper Paleolithic there are already figures of anthropomorphized animals such as the Lion Man of Germany.
The gods and goddesses are anthropomorphic: in
Clash of the Titans
Zeus adopts the physiognomy of Laurence Olivier.
Hunting, religion and art resort to personifications and endow nature and things with human traits.
Robotics chooses anthropomorphic models and
furry
, a term born in science fiction, brings together those who fanatically adore the personifications of animals: large stuffed animals of bears or turtles take to the streets, and animalism screams in heaven because that anthropomorphic pirouette distorts and makes the behavior of the animals.
Think of animated series like
Tom and Jerry , or the
Curro
mascot ,
the strangest creature imaginable.
The trees in the forest have eyes and claws.
In anthropomorphic ethics and aesthetics there is a need to control the uncontrollable: perhaps for this reason a storm is called
Filomena
and will end up being blonde and a resident of Alcantarilla.
We anthropomorphize to understand the unknown, to dominate and ensure that man - not woman - is the measure of all things.
In addition, we animalize to be able to say, like dogs or foxes, what we would never dare to say as human beings.
Cipión
and
Berganza
are men turned into dogs because of a spell.
Dog-men or man-dogs who still practice the art of dialogue.
I watch television and the kiwis train to escape from the teeth that want to devour them because they are very sweet;
avocados smile when the knife cuts them in half;
the chocolate candies go to the psychoanalyst because they feel trapped inside a tablet;
breakfast cereals are some kind of bug,
macarrota
and bizarre, who belches and throws himself into the milk, splashing it to leave everything dirty as hell.
I do not want to understand the reasons that make chard a desirable food for its erotic ability to wink.
Gluttony and sex.
"Eat me."
"Devour me again."
I am a whiting, I am a woman and I want you to leave the mark of your apple bite on my body.
I do not want to eat food that winks at me or argue with the remains of cannelloni that have remained in my molars.
The anthropomorphism of food in advertising prepares us for a scenario in which we could well be cannibals.
We normalize the hypothesis that the least expected day we will have to eat beings, not only endowed with a certain intelligence and sensitivity, but with the gift of smile and speech.
Rhetoric creates a state of consciousness in which soon certain images will not be shocking to us: we will not feel sorry for the absurd lettuce with eyes, and yet, in kindergartens, boys and girls will bite themselves to death at the intuition that human flesh can taste like chocolate.
Sadism, lack of empathy and childhood obesity will grow.
Other babies will literally be left in the bones.
But the law of the strongest will prevail again and perhaps not only the cultivation of transgenics will solve the problem of hunger in the world.
