Pachakuti e a história da modernidade nos mares do Sul.

Abstract

The text deals with the construction of modernity-coloniality, starting from a dialogue between Historical-Dialectical Materialism (LUKÁCS, 2010; MARX, 2007; 2013) and Southern Epistemologies (SANTOS, 2010A; QUIJANO, 2005; MIGNOLO, 2011). Three are the central points of reflection: the breaking of the absolute silence that surrounds the importance of Latin America in the construction of capitalist modernity; the metabolic linkage between modernity and coloniality- since the stage of the productive forces and the consolidation of Eurocentrism as the core of the intellectual world life have a close connection with the regime of primitive accumulation, colonization and racialization of the Latin American territories and, finally, the introduction from a materialist ontological premise to the epistemological debate of the Global South, is that colonization was the matrix point of the planetary imposition of the Form- Merchandise (MARX, 2013).
