Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Por qué razón, en los últimos dos siglos, la epistemología occidental dominante eliminó de la reflexión el contexto cultural y político de producción y reproducción del conocimiento? ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias de esta descontextualización? ¿Son hoy posibles otras epistemologías? ¿Qué consecuencias tiene el racismo en el ámbito de los saberes al degradar como «inferiores» los conocimientos no occidentales y exagerar como «superiores» los conocimientos occidentales? ¿Cómo se redefinirían los debates globales actuales sobre democracia, crisis ecológica, derechos humanos, liberación de la mujer, economía, etc., si partimos de un diálogo entre iguales basado en la diversidad epistemológica del mundo? Este libro procura dar respuesta a estas preguntas, no conformándose con hacer una mera crítica, sino proponiendo una alternativa conocida como Epistemologías del Sur. En sus capítulos se denuncia la supresión de saberes ("epistemicidio") llevada a cabo a lo largo de los últimos siglos por la norma epistemológica dominante, además de investigar las condiciones para un diálogo horizontal entre conocimientos. Un texto profundamente necesario en un mundo al que le cuesta renunciar a su tradicional occidentalo-centrismo.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El objetivo de este ensayo es analizar la obra de Boaventura de Sousa Santos, especialmente su comprensión de las sociedades contemporáneas y los desafíos epistemológicos y metodológicos actuales. Mediante una revisión documental de su obra y aportes críticos de otros autores, se distingue su comprensión crítica y utópica de las sociedades actuales, y la necesidad de renovación de los procesos de construcción de conocimiento. Los aportes de este trabajo son, por una parte, integrar la crítica de Santos a la modernidad con su propuesta utópica, y su relación con las epistemologías del sur, la ecología de saberes y la traducción intercultural. Por otra parte, la identificación de estrategias concretas de generación de saberes desde una perspectiva intercultural. Las conclusiones están orientadas hacia una evaluación crítica de la discusión desarrollada con Santos y su relevancia en el contexto de las ciencias sociales latinoamericanas.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Disability Studies by : Tsitsi Chataika
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Disability Studies written by Tsitsi Chataika and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book centres and explores postcolonial theory, which looks at issues of power, economics, politics, religion and culture and how these elements work in relation to colonial supremacy. It argues that disability is a constitutive material presence in many postcolonial societies and that progressive disability politics arise from postcolonial concerns. By drawing these two subjects together, this handbook challenges oppression, voicelessness, stereotyping, undermining, neo-colonisation and postcolonisation and bridges binary debate between global North and the global South. The book is divided into eight sections i Setting the Scene ii Decolonising Disability Studies iii Postcolonial Theory, Inclusive Development iv Postcolonial Disability Studies and Disability Activism v Postcolonial Disability and Childhood Studies vi Postcolonial Disability Studies and Education vii Postcolonial Disability Studies, Gender, Race and Religion viii Conclusion And comprised of 27 newly written chapters, this book leads with postcolonial perspectives – closely followed by an engagement with critical disability studies – with the explicit aim of foregrounding these contributions; pulling them in from the edges of empirical and theoretical work where they often reside in mainstream academic literature. The book will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies and postcolonial studies as well as those working in sociology, literature and development studies.
Book Synopsis Justicia entre Saberes. Epistemologías del Sur contra el epistemicidio by : Boaventura de Sousa Santos
Download or read book Justicia entre Saberes. Epistemologías del Sur contra el epistemicidio written by Boaventura de Sousa Santos and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of appalling social inequalities people are becoming more aware of the multiple dimensions of injustice, whether social, political, cultural, sexual, ethnic, religious, historical, or ecological. Rarely acknowledged is another vital dimension: cognitive injustice, the failure to recognize the different ways of knowing by which people across the globe run their lives and provide meaning to their existence. This book shows why cognitive injustice underlies all the other dimensions; global social justice is not possible without global cognitive justice. Santos's argument unfolds in two inquiries. No matter how internally diverse, Western Modernity provided the knowledge underlying the long cycle of colonialism followed by global capitalism. These historical processes profoundly devalued and marginalized the knowledge and wisdom that had been in existence in the global South. Today, working against epistemicide is imperative in order to recover and valorize the epistemological diversity of the world. Such recovery and valorization is the book's second inquiry and is based on four key analytical tools: sociology of absences, sociology of emergences, ecology of knowledges, and intercultural translation. The transformation of the world's epistemological diversity into an empowering instrument against hegemonic globalization points to a new kind of bottom-up cosmopolitanism. It would promote a wide conversation of humankind, celebrating conviviality, solidarity, and life against the logic of market-ridden greed and individualism and the destruction of life to which world populations large and small are condemned by the dominant forces of globalization. --Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis What’s with Free Will? by : Philip Clayton
Download or read book What’s with Free Will? written by Philip Clayton and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are humans free, or are we determined by our genes and the world around us? The question of freedom is not only one of philosophy's greatest conundrums, but also one of the most fundamental questions of human existence. It's particularly pressing in societies like ours, where our core institutions of law, ethics, and religion are built around the belief in individual freedom. Can one still affirm human freedom in an age of science? And if free will doesn't exist, does it make sense to act as though it does? These are the issues that are presented, probed, and debated in the following chapters. A dozen experts―specialists in medicine, psychology, ethics, theology, and philosophy--grapple with the multiple and often profound challenges presented by today's brain science. After examining the arguments against traditional notions of free will, several of the authors champion the idea of a chastened but robust free will for today, one that allows us still to affirm the value of first-person experience.
Book Synopsis The Anticolonial Museum by : Bruno Brulon Soares
Download or read book The Anticolonial Museum written by Bruno Brulon Soares and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-18 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anticolonial Museum acknowledges some of the consequences of colonialism in the current work of museums. Looking at museum theory in a critical way, it proposes a radical revision of museums’ rhetoric on decolonisation, as well as their public image and practices. Bringing together a collection of reflections on decolonisation through the observation of museum performance and discourse, the author considers current practices in response to the social claims of marginalised groups and activists. Drawing from a genealogy of decolonial thinking in museology, Brulon Soares identifies the inherent paradoxes reflected in museum work. The book’s focus is not exclusively on the reality of colonised countries, nor on the context of former imperialist nations—instead, it raises anticolonial questions, finding common ground between the different actors involved in the museum: scholars, students, curators, practitioners, community members and Indigenous creators. One of the central aims of this book is to view the museum as a locus for multiple enunciations, thus identifying in museum practice the active possibility of reconnecting subjectivities and restoring material fluxes to effectively repair the bonds that have been frayed by colonialism and an expanding modernity. The Anticolonial Museum will be of great interest to researchers and students engaged in the study of decolonisation. It will also be essential for practitioners who wish to reconsider the impact of coloniality on their own position and everyday practice.
Book Synopsis Decolonial Mourning and the Caring Commons by : Encarnación Gutiérrez Rodríguez
Download or read book Decolonial Mourning and the Caring Commons written by Encarnación Gutiérrez Rodríguez and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the product of an endless individual and collective process of mourning. It departs from the author’s mourning for her parents, their histories and struggles in Germany as Gastarbeiter, while it also engages with the political mourning of intersectional feminist movements against feminicide inCentral and South America; the struggles against state and police misogynoir violence of #SayHerName in the United States; the resistance of refugees and migrantized people against the coloniality of migration in Germany; and the intense political grief work of families, relatives, and friends who lost their loved ones in racist attacks from the 1980s until today in Germany. Bearing witness to their stories and accounts, this book explores how mourning is shaped both by its historical context and the political labor of caring commons, while it also follows the building of a conviviality infrastructure of support against migration-coloniality necropolitics, dwelling toward transformative and reparative practices of common justice.
Book Synopsis Monuments and Memory in Africa by : John Sodiq Sanni
Download or read book Monuments and Memory in Africa written by John Sodiq Sanni and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how monuments have been used in Africa as tools of oppression and dominance, from the colonial period up to the present day. The book asks what the decolonisation of historical monuments and geographies might entail and how this could contribute to the creation of a post-imperial world. In recent times, African movements to overthrow the symbols and monuments of the colonial era have gathered pace as a means of renaming, reclassifying, and reimagining colonial identities and spaces. Movements such as #RhodesMustFall in South Africa have sprung up around the world, connected by a history of Black life struggles, erasures, oppression, suppression, and the depression of Black biopolitics. This book provides an important multidisciplinary intervention in the discourse on monuments and memories, asking what they are, what they have been used to represent, and ultimately what they can reveal about past and present forms of pain and oppression. Drawing on insights from philosophy, historical sociology, politics, museum, and literary studies, this book will be of interest to a range of scholars with an interest in the decolonisation of global African history.
