Description
Summary:Let's try to relate the coloniality of space and time with the geopolitics of knowledge and the geopolitics of feeling. In 1977, in his Philosophy of Liberation, Enrique Dussel, made evident his geopolitical awareness, when speaking of space as a battlefield, social, political and epistemic (Dussel, 1996). In geopolitical terms, then, it is not the same to be born in the North Pole, in Chiapas or in Bolivia as in New York, because there is a wall of colonial difference built during 500 years of modernity. The geopolitics of knowledge is the epistemological spatialization of knowledge, and just as economics produces centers and peripheries, epistemology also does so. In the geographical North there are epistemic sures as well as in the geographic South there are epistemic nortes. Intentemos relacionar la colonialidad del espacio y del tiempo con la geopolítica del conocimiento y la geopolítica del sentir. En 1977 en su Filosofía de la liberación, Enrique Dussel, hizo evidente su conciente geopolítico, al hablar del espacio como campo de batalla, social, política y epistémica (Dussel, 1996). En términos geopolíticos entonces, no es lo mismo nacer en el Polo Norte, en Chiapas o en Bolivia que, en Nueva York, pues hay un muro de diferencia colonial construido durante 500 años de modernidad. La gepolítica del conocimiento es la espacialización epistemológica del saber, y así como la economía produce centros y periferias, la epistemología también lo hace. En el Norte geográfico hay sures epistémicos así como en el Sur geográfico hay nortes epistémicos. Vamos tentar relacionar a colonialidade do espaço e do tempo com a geopolítica do conhecimento e a geopolítica do sentimento. Em 1977, em sua Filosofia da Libertação, Enrique Dussel, evidenciou sua consciência geopolítica, ao falar do espaço como campo de batalha, social, político e epistêmico (Dussel, 1996). Em termos geopolíticos, portanto, não é o mesmo nascer no Polo Norte, em Chiapas ou na Bolívia como em Nova York, porque há um muro de diferença colonial ...
