Metodologías otras desde la perspectiva decolonial

Abstract

Introduction: Through the present outlines that follow below, we invite you to reflect collectively on methodologies others from the decolonial perspective. Objective: Share methodologies others that recover the encounter of plural knowledges as a core substance for the deployment of decolonizing processes (researchs) from the decolonial perspective. Methods: In the decolonial doing (methodology), various decolonial actions / traces (techniques) arise, which enable collective thinking and the exchanges of plural knowledges. This enriches the entire decolonization process that unfolds from this perspective, with all the subjects that participate in it as active protagonists. In this process, decolonial actions / traces are materialized, such as: alternative conversations, communal contemplations, among others, which allow us to reflect on the historical-social from ways others. Results: The deployments of the decolonial doing, through their decolonial actions / traces, allow us to generate reflective encounters between plural subjects towards collective knowledge productions, overcoming internalized and reproduced hegemonies from extractivist logics of knowledge, being and power among the subjects of the decolonization processes. This allows us to move towards overcoming the colonialities of knowledge, power and being, as well as the logics of lordship, typical of colonial modernity. The utopias towards the construction of societies others begin to become a constitutive part of our possible and real materializations. Conclusions: Generating forms others of understanding of social reality, such as those posed from the decolonial perspective, opens up new horizons of meanings that relocate us as plural subjects in pluriversal frameworks, where the protagonists are the subjects who embody the different decolonizing processes.
