Analectic for Liberation

Abstract

In 2004 I began my studies in social anthropology at the National School of Anthropology and History (ENAH). To take advantage of my stay in the Federal District (I am originally from Puebla) I attended as a listener in subjects of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) which is a couple of blocks from the ENAH. As a listener at UNAM and other universities, I listened to José María Pérez Gay, Juan María Alponte, Bolívar Echeverría, Horacio Cerutti, among others. One of the subjects that I took as a listener at UNAM was History of Latin American Philosophical Thought taught by Enrique Dussel in room 005 of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. In that seminar I met and had the pleasure of meeting Katya Colmenares who today heads the Philosophy section of “Analéctica. Decolonial Critical Thinking”.
