| Summary: | Although many Latin American intellectuals, have attempted to reformulate the knowledge offered by North Atlantic modernity during most of last century and the current one, carrying out a critical analysis of the way in which its reverse - coloniality – acted in the Westernization processes of our subcontinent, the academy has decoupled the proposals of the intellectuals of "national position" in the Southern Cone from those of the critical studies of the geopolitics of knowledge. On the other hand the recovery of the geocultural perspective inaugurated by Kusch by philosophers and thinkers linked to the studies of the geopolitics of knowledge, as part of a rereading of the philosophy of liberation, now makes it possible to establish with certainty a link between an ensemble of decolonial thinking with national and popular thinking. The present work attempts to relate the so-called “national and popular thought” with geocultural studies based on the philosophical proposal of Rodolfo Kusch. The possibility of understanding the Peronism and the crowd as “entrances” to popular thought and its relationship with the national in the Southern Cone is inquired into with brief entries to some categories of this Argentinian philosopher and the thought of Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz. Hence, this is an attempt to relate the most relevant trends of the "matrix of national and popular thought" -according to Alcira Argumedo-, with the geocultural perspectives of the Latin American thought, and offer a contribution to complete its panorama not only in Latin America in general (and) but also in the Southern Cone in particular. Although what has been developed only briefly investigates the proposals of Scalabrini Ortiz and Kusch, the work is presented as a series of notes to establish the necessary connections to complete the panorama of the Latin American and decolonial thought and its current challenges. Si bien muchos intelectuales latinoamericanos, durante gran parte del siglo pasado y en lo que va del presente, han intentado reformular el conocimiento ofrecido por la modernidad noratlántica, efectuando un análisis crítico del modo en que su reverso -la colonialidad- actuó en los procesos de occidentalización de nuestra subcontinente, la academia ha desvinculado las propuestas de los intelectuales de “posición nacional” en el Cono Sur de las de los estudios críticos de la geopolítica del conocimiento. Por otra parte, la recuperación de la perspectiva geocultural inaugurada por Kusch por parte de filósofos y pensadores ligados a los estudios de la geopolítica del conocimiento, como parte de una relectura de la filosofía de la liberación, permite ahora establecer con certeza un puente entre el conjunto de un pensar descolonial con el pensamiento nacional y popular. El presente trabajo intenta vincular el llamado “pensamiento nacional y popular” con los estudios geoculturales basados en la propuesta filosófica de Rodolfo Kusch. Con breves entradas a algunas categorías de este filósofo argentino y al pensamiento de Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz, se indaga la posibilidad de comprender al peronismo y la muchedumbre como “entrancias” al pensamiento popular y relación con lo nacional en el Cono Sur. Se tratará aquí entonces de relacionar las tendencias más relevantes de la “matriz de pensamiento nacional y popular” –según Alcira Argumedo-, con las perspectivas geoculturales del pensamiento latinoamericano, y ofrecer un aporte para completar su panorama en América Latina en general y el Cono Sur en particular. Aunque lo desarrollado solo indague someramente las propuestas de Scalabrini Ortiz y Kusch, el trabajo se presenta como una serie de apuntes para establecer las conexiones necesarias para completar el panorama del pensamiento latinoamericano y decolonial y sus desafíos actuales. |
