Entre a subalternidade e o socialismo indoamericano: existe um pensamento marxista decolonial?

Abstract

Colonization and European thought brought to the original people not only the mark of financial dependence and capitalism. They were crucial, above all, to the expansion of a Eurocentric intellectual influence, a cultural colonialism that, together with private property, marked our economic and social formation. However, as the history of men needs to be observed in their dialectical construction, the last two decades of the twenty-first century and its political changes have brought to the fore new theoretical questions to think about contemporary Latin America, where governments and social movements formed a political alternative to Structures of power experienced since the third democratic wave in the mid-1980s, seeking to recover an approximation between society and state. In the wake of this reflection, this thesis aims to critically analyze, from a marxist perspective, the decolonial movement in Latin America. It is a theoretical-political project of Latin American intellectuals that arises simultaneously with the argument of resistance to the western-centrism and consequent critical renovation of the Social Sciences in the subcontinent. Therefore, we sought to investigate how two theories that are key to think the constitution of our objectthe decolonial movement, expand in the academy, are postcolonial theory and the study of the subaltern subject, as well as the way in which these theories Are received in the subcontinent, gaining strength from the 1990s onwards, with the launch of Coloniality and modernity-rationality (1992) by Peruvian Aníbal Quijano (1928). Having as a theoretical-methodological axis the recovery of part of the set of the historiographical political work of Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) and J. C. Mariátegui (1894-1930), considering that these authors make interpretations on the national question and uneven development from the contributions of the Marxist dialectical methodology that foment their theoretical formulations, our hypothesis indicates that concepts and theories recovered by the current of decoloniais authors and already postulated previously by the authors here highlighted - Indo-American subalternity and socialism - do not necessarily strictly bind themselves to what Gramsci and Mariátegui had intended for such concepts, presenting fundamentally different political conclusions. We Recovered, to test the hypothesis, the theoretical assumptions of decolonial authors on the subject and thus launched as secondary hypothesis the possibility of Marxist theory address issues that affect Latin America, the break with revolutionary Marxism is not necessary to achieve advances in Social and political theory in Latin America. It was possible to verify that the decolonial authors are not unanimous about this rupture, so we can compare this division to the question of Latin American essentialism, one of the faces that characterized the Marxist debate in the subcontinent in the 1930s, mainly because it deals with political fragmentation which proposes a social classification based on the question of races like the fight and not as part of the class struggle. Finally, we conclude that Gramsci and Mariátegui, Marxists with non-hegemonic visions of Marxism, approached the traditional conception of Marxist politics of subalterns, stimulating a deep association between intellectual knowledge and popular will, indicating elements that are contemporaneously presented by the decolonial left.
