Exercises on the Postponed. Postcolonial writings
Synopsis
The essays collected in this volume are the result of the work carried out by the members of the project “Morphologies of coloniality in research in human sciences and philosophy. Materials, devices, discourses ”from the Faculty of Philosophy, Humanities and Arts of the National University of San Juan, Argentina. As the name of the publication announces, each work shows a particular way of approaching what we agree to call the postponed. […] We know that no theory is infallible and impartial, and that all are inextricably linked with a history and a geography. Precisely for this reason, we were interested (inquire, review, find out) how it is that in some the policy of selection of certain problems and situations –and the exclusion of others– is done with the purpose of persevering in a relationship of epistemological privilege and political. That is to say, although theories are never complete, this does not mean that the selection of the problems of interest is carried out without discretion. It always counts what commitment and what time and space we have assumed. […] In our case, an epistemological synchrony became clear between some self-perceived theories as universal and the constitutive, segregative and violent articulation of those excluded from that universality. In the language that our cultural and epistemological neighborhood speaks, this is called coloniality, a massive but at the same time secret language that translates itself in the different corners of the Global South (from Book Introduction).
This publication has gone through a peer review with the double blind system.
