Between echoes and voices: Latin American politics as a reinvention of global democracy

  • Daniel Eduardo Florez Muñoz Profesor Investigador

Abstract

The civilizing project was based on the affirmation of humanity by those who yesterday as sons of God sowed Christianity in the world, then as bearers of reason they sowed enlightenment and scientism, and today as high advisers of development and global competitiveness sows neoliberal austerity policies throughout the global south; the affirmation of his humanity found as a correlate the denial of those tributes thrown into the jaws of a performative system of victimization, the truth of it has never lived in the words of his paid intellectuals, in those cold and erudite demoliberal musings about emotions, consensus and fundamental rights, but in the memory of the suffering of the victims to whom, through the implantation of a language, their thoughts were administered and were deprived of the possibility of expressing this type of experience charged with negativity completely alien to the inhabitants from the center, accustomed to speaking only from the positive reality of law, philosophy and science, that experience that challenged the totality of order only found in rebellion and violent insurrection a way to come to light under the name of liberation and independence.
