Comparing colonial differences: Baltic literary cultures as agencies of Europe’s internal others
2016
ABSTRACTThe article discusses the Baltic colonial experience in historical and comparative perspective. It sketches the ways in which Baltic societies are best linked to theoretical discussions on postcolonial issues, and whether they might be looked upon in a more global context. The main question posed by the article is in what ways Baltic identity has been determined by processes of foreign settlement, occupation and colonization of the territory of each respective country and whether we can see Baltic societies as potential agencies of Europe’s internal others.
Decolonial Thinking and Refugees’ Stories. The Queens of Syria Documentary (2014)
2019
As an important stimulus for the international mushrooming of artistic creativity in public spaces, counter narratives by displaced people are contributing to the reframing of the political and sociolinguistic contemporary framework, where migrant identities are fighting to gain a voice. A counter wave of audiovisual productions based on aesthetic discourse has emerged within territories that seem to be losing their humanity with respect to migration issues, and seem to publicly reinforce forms of spectacularisation. Against a backdrop of international political conflict, where migrants and dispossessed refugees are nameless and cannot speak, visual and performative arts have taken on a dec…
Planetary activism at the end of the world: Feminist and posthumanist imaginaries beyond Man
2022
We are currently experiencing a planetary crisis that will lead, if worst comes to worst, to the end of the entire world as we know it. Several feminist scholars have suggested that if the Earth is to stay livable for humans and nonhumans alike, the ways in which many human beings – particularly in the wealthy parts of the world, infested with Eurocentrism, (neo)colonialism, neoliberalism, and capitalism – inhabit this planet requires radical, ethical, and political transformation. In this article, we propose that feminist theory, particularly feminist posthumanities, and Black feminist and decolonial thought, together with creative practices such as writing, have much to contribute to tra…
Pluriversalizar los regímenes globales de conocimiento: ¿Puede el Análisis del Discurso sociológico contribuir a estudios Decoloniales?
2020
In this paper we discuss the perspective of Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD) as a possible strategy applicable to studies framed by decolonial thought. The reflection is approached by comparing key concepts of both perspectives, such as discourse, power and knowledge, as well as their methodological premises. The results allow us to point out potentials of SKAD as a conceptual-methodological reference for investigations towards decoloniality, e.g. the SKAD analysis dimensions patterns of interpretation and narrative structure. However, possible limitations of the SKAD with respect to the design and the realization of decolonial studies were also revealed, particularly in …
Discussing Eurocentric evaluative epistemic hegemony: an exploratory approach
2017
En el presente artículo pretendo, de una forma aún exploratoria, reunir algunos presupuestos de las teorías poscoloniales/descoloniales para elaborar un pensamiento crítico sobre la hegemonía de determinadas políticas, procesos e instrumentos de evaluación (o de medición educativa), que son claramente eurocéntricos (o euroamericanos) y que integran la actual agenda educativa global. Sin pretender contribuir para subsanar cualquier posible laguna pero reconociendo que, a pesar de las conocidas excepciones, el campo de las políticas de evaluación se encuentra relativamente saturado por abordajes repetitivos y previsibles, me resulta llamativa la capacidad hermenéutica de los presupuestos posc…
La Justicia del Corazón-O'tan. Armonía y derechos indígenas desde la sabiduría tseltal en Chiapas. Descolonizando los derechos humanos, tejiendo inte…
2016
La interculturalidad es uno de los grandes retos del siglo XXI y pone en crisis el paradigma eurocéntrico y hegemónico de los derechos humanos, basado en la centralidad del Estado y en el carácter jurídico-normativo de los mismos. La teoría crítica de derechos humanos, desarrollada por Joaquín Herrera y David Sánchez (entre otros) complejiza los derechos humanos para entenderlos como procesos sociales, normativos e institucionales encaminados a defender la vida digna de ser vivida. La presente tesis a través de una metodología de colabor con el Centro de Derechos Indígenas de Chilón (Chiapas) intenta conocer cómo se reapropian los derechos humanos desde un contexto socio-político, cultural …
Estudios de Género desde una perspectiva decolonial. Trama y Urdimbre: Tejido de una memoria de mujeres migrantes de Abya Yala como sujetas políticas
2022
La presente investigación se enmarca dentro de la producción académica de los feminismos decoloniales de Abya Yala situados en el Estado español. De esta manera, este escrito trata sobre las memorias de los activismos de un grupo de mujeres migrantes racializadas de Abya Yala que forman parte de diferentes colectivas autónomas y organizaciones formales del ámbito social. Estas mujeres se presentan como sujetas políticas en el territorio valenciano en un contexto que comprende desde finales del siglo XX hasta las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI, período durante el cual se han entretejido una serie de acontecimientos, datos, sentipensares, lugares de la memoria, símbolos e interpretaciones…
Modelos de mundo y discursos literarios saboteadores en Guinea Ecuatorial: la construcción de una identidad decolonial y sus límites
2022
Esta investigación parte del interés por analizar la posición ideológica de la literatura escrita por mujeres guineoecuatorianas en la construcción de la identidad nacional decolonial. Guinea Ecuatorial se enfrenta desde su independencia de España en 1968, a una necesaria reconstrucción identitaria que fluctúa entre los legados del colonialismo pasado y la recuperación de sus culturas y valores precoloniales. En ambos casos, la mujer negra y sus discursos ocupan una posición subalterna, ya sea frente al patriarcado de la cultura colonial española o frente al nuevo nacionalismo patriarcal poscolonial. Desde esa posición de negatividad frente al modelo de mundo hegemónico, las voces de ellas …
Corporate storytelling and the idea of Latin America
2021
The aim of this article is contributing to a great variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical settings to generate cumulative evidence about the influence of historical legacies and organisational ability for managing the past. In a continuation of critical perspectives that challenges the dominance of Anglo-Saxon onto-epistemologies in management and organisation studies (MOS), we conducted an empirical study on a multinational airline company whose past successes depended on the North/South, Anglo/Latin American borderlands. We analysed the grand narratives of Pan American Airways' (PAA) corporate archival material to determine its dominant discourses about people from Latin Americ…
Memoria y paz. Perspectivas decoloniales en la construcción de la memoria colectiva
2018
The objective of this article is to analyse methodological principles in studies that link the construction of memory with decolonisation. Based on two decolonial approaches, the colonial and epistemic difference, a comparative study of collaborative research on memory in Latin America was carried out. This analysis contributes to the conceptual-critical reflection of the construction of memory in a decolonial framing and presents through innovative methodologies meaning shifts of official narratives. In conclusion, it proposes the integration of the territorial dimension and the subjectivity of the participants and their communities as a way of transformation towards peaceful societies
