| dc.description.abstract | One of the main claims in the debates we all have been engaged in refers to the understanding that "center-periphery" (How to name ourselves? We must also revisit the discussions on this and other analytical categories that we use to talk about "us": global south, periphery, and so on) canĀ“t be reduced to a descriptive emplacement notionrelationships are not only economic, politic, cultural.... They are intellectual as well. Post-colonial studies, subaltern studies, decolonial studies point out the need of a theory or of theories able to produce a perspective and a critical thought "at the periphery" or, better, "from the periphery". The development of the concepts of ethnocentrism, centercentrism, westerncentrism, cultural imperialism, coloniality of power and knowledge, among others, as well the seminal works by Said (Orientalism) and Fanon (The Wretched of the World) demonstrated the relevance of center-periphery relationship in the making and diffusing of (social) theories intended as universal explanations about different social, economic, politic and cultural realities. | |
