 Resumo O artigo retoma alguns pontos de convergência entre a obra de Paulo Freire “Pedagogia do Oprimido” (1968) e a perspectiva pós-colonial latino-americana (ou decolonial) com vistas a assinalar para o caráter pedagógico que esta tem no campo das ciências sociais. A partir da identificação e discussão de alguns aspectos convergentes na obra de Freire e nos trabalhos de Franz Fanon, Aimé Cesáire, Enrique Dussel, Aníbal Quijano e Walter Mignolo, argumento que o pensamento destes autores pós-coloniais contribui para o ensino no campo das ciências sociais ao propor um novo lugar de fala a partir do paradigma colonialidade-modernidade. Assim como a “Pedagogia do Oprimido” propõe formas de descontruir o mito da estrutura opressora, a perspectiva pós-colonial assinala diferentes estratégias para a desconstrução do mito do eurocentrismo. O artigo aponta algumas dessas estratégias ressaltando sua contribuição pedagógica para um ensino menos colonizado no campo das ciências sociais.Palavras-chavePós-colonialismo; pedagogia; Paulo Freire; ciências sociais.--- Abstract This article observes converging points between Paulo Freire’s “Pedagogia do Oprimido” (1968) and the latin-american post-colonial perspective, pointing to the pedagogical contribution the latter has had in social sciences. Through the identification and discussion of converging aspects in Paulo Freire’s work as well as in Franz Fanon’s, Aimé Cesáire’s, Enrique Dussel’s, Aníbal Quijano’s and Walter Mignolo’s work, I sustain that these authors contribute to the social sciences field when they propose a shift to the modernity-coloniality paradigm. As “Pedagogia do Oprimido” addresses forms of deconstructing the myth of the structure of oppression; the decolonial perspective points to different strategies for deconstructing the Eurocentric myth. This article recovers some of these strategies highlighting its pedagogical contribution to a less “colonized” teaching process in social sciences.KeywordsPost-colonialism; pedagogy; Paulo Freire; social sciences.---Resumen El presente articulo retoma algunos puntos de convergencia entre la obra de Paulo Freire “Pedagogia do Oprimido” (1968) y la perspectiva pos-colonial latinoamericana (o decolonial) con el objetivo de señalar para el carácter pedagógico que este tiene en el campo de las ciencias sociales.

Mature Work

Latin American decolonialism has a prominent place in current criticism of Eurocentrism in the social sciences and humanities. This paper raises the problem of alterity in the decolonial thinking of Enrique Dussel through the hermeneutical exegesis of three main categories: exteriority, living work and victim. The purpose of this research is to determine the continuities and discontinuities of this problem in the theoretical work of the ArgentineMexican philosopher. As our theoreticalmethodological framework, we consider the notions of the de-colonial attitude and the Latin American hermeneuticphilosophical approach to liberation. In the conclusions, we show that the concept of alterity appears in Dussel’s early work associated with Levinasian ethical language. Later, a shift towards an economic-material reflection is evidenced in his mature work as a means to historically understand the oppression and exclusion of peripheral countries.

Domination Problems

ABSTRACT Latin American decolonial theory is built around the thesis of the “coloniality of knowledge”, which claims that the socio-political domination of Latin America and other regions of the global periphery by European countries and the United States is directly related to the initial colonial imposition and subsequent cultural reproduction of so-called “Western epistemology” and science. I argue that the epistemological claims of four decolonial thinkers (Aníbal Quijano, Walter Mignolo, Enrique Dussel, Santiago Castro-Gómez) that make up the coloniality of knowledge thesis are problematic for several reasons: they are based on distorted and simplistic readings of Descartes, Hume and other Enlightenment figures; they make contentious generalizations about so-called Western epistemology; and they ultimately lead to epistemic relativism, which is a problematic basis for the social sciences and, contrary to decolonial aspirations, renders the subaltern unable to speak.

This chapter challenges the defeatism of Hirschman's friends and colleagues during the 1950s–1960s, when numerous political and social upheavals were happening worldwide. In this chapter, Hirschman explains that many of the so-called “structural causes”—a term advanced by his Latin American colleagues in the social sciences which refers to entrenched obstacles that make all efforts to change self-defeating—are ideological constructs. The chapter discusses two obstacles to the perception of change: the persistence of traits which are related to the “little traditions,” as well as the bias in the perception of cumulative change. It argues that the real, “stealthy” change that was actually occurring is being obscured in the process and the vital role of political and intellectual leadership is thus ignored.

AbstractThis survey article seeks to contribute to the understanding of the concepts of precarious work and precarization in the history of industrial capitalism by addressing the debate in the social sciences and humanities over the past forty years. Based on a gendered global approach, this article aims to offer a critique of the Global North-centric perspective, which largely conceives precarious work as a new phenomenon lacking a longer historical tradition. The first part discusses the multiple origins, definitions, and conceptualizations of “precarious work” elaborated with regard to industrial as well as post-industrial capitalism, taking into account selected contemporary sources as well as studies conducted by historians and social scientists. In the second part, the influence of different approaches, such as the feminist and post-colonial ones, in globalizing and gendering the precarious work debate is examined in their historical contexts, exploring also the crucial nexus of precarious work and informal work. In the conclusion, the limitations of the available literature are discussed, along with suggestions for further directions in historicizing precarious work from a global perspective.TRANSLATED ABSTRACTS FRENCH – GERMAN – SPANISHEloisa Betti.En historicisant le travail précaire: quarante ans de recherche dans les sciences sociales et humaines.Cette enquête tente de contribuer à la compréhension des concepts de travail précaire et de précarisation dans l’histoire du capitalisme industriel, en examinant le débat dans les sciences sociales et humaines durant les quarante dernières années. Sur la base d’une approche globale de genre, l’article entend proposer une critique de la perspective globale nordique, qui conçoit en grande partie le travail précaire comme un nouveau phénomène dépourvu d’une assez longue tradition historique. La première partie examine les multiples origines, définitions et conceptualisations du “travail précaire” élaborées à propos du capitalisme industriel et post-industriel, en tenant compte de sources contemporaines sélectionnées et d’études conduites par des historiens et spécialistes des sciences sociales. Dans la seconde partie, l’influence de diverses approches, telles que les approches féministes et post-coloniales, mondialisant et générisant le débat sur le travail précaire, sont examinées dans leur contexte historique, tout en étudiant également le lien crucial du travail précaire et du travail informel. En conclusion, les limitations de la littérature disponible sont examinées et assorties de suggestions d’orientations ultérieures pour historiciser le travail précaire dans une perspective globale.Traduction:Christine Plard

Enrique Dussel

Enrique Dussel and John Dewey share commitments to philosophical theory and practice aimed at addressing human problems, democratic modes of inquiry, and progressive social reform, but also maintain productive differences in their fundamental starting point for political philosophy and their use of the social sciences. Dussel provides a corrective to Dewey’s Eurocentrism and to his tendency to underplay the challenges of incorporating marginalized populations by insisting that social and political philosophy begin from the perspective of the marginalized and excluded. Simultaneously, Dewey encourages a modest experimental and fallibilist approach to social transformation that promises more feasible social reforms than Dussel’s approach rooted in phenomenology and the critical social sciences.

<p><strong>RESUMO:</strong></p><p dir="ltr"><span>O artigo pretende analisar, a partir da perspectiva da Sociologia Jurídica, como se dão as relações entre os poderes, o direito e a dominação dos sujeitos dominados pelas classes dominantes. Dessa forma, o artigo, inicialmente, valendo-se da epistemologia crítica do “Norte”, faz a análise do processo de dominação, no qual as Ciências Sociais, incluindo o Direito, são elementos essenciais para invisibilizar as lutas sociais. Assim, em seguida, as lutas sociais por novos direitos são analisadas como formas que levam a uma “tomada de consciência” das classes dominadas, levando-as a enveredar pelos caminhos das reivindicações por direitos que lhe foram e são renegados. Finalizando, o trabalho, a partir de uma epistemologia do “Sul”, analisa como têm sido enfrentadas as questões dos novos direitos na América Latina, partindo do pressuposto segundo o qual a questão racial é um dos elementos fundamentais para a compreensão do processo de dominação inaugurado pela Modernidade. A metodologia consistiu na revisão crítica da literatura, incluindo os debates proporcionados pela Sociologia Jurídica, que informa que o direito não é isento de pretensões, mas um instrumento que pode estar a serviço, de forma invisível, das classes dominantes.</span></p><div><strong>ABSTRACT:</strong></div><div> </div><div><p dir="ltr"><span>The article aims the analysis, from the perspective of Juridical Sociology, how the relations between powers, law, domination and dominated individuals take place. At first, the issue adopts the Northern critical epistemology to analyze the process of domination, in which the Social Sciences, including Law, are essential elements to invisibilizate social struggles. Thus, the social struggles for new rights are examined as ways to lead dominated classes to awareness, taking them to follow the paths of demanding for their rights, which have been and still are denied. Concluding, by approaching a Southern epistemology, the paper analyzes how the issues on new rights in Latin American have been faced, assuming that the racial question is one of the fundamental elements in order to understand the process of domination unveiled by Modernity. The methodology is based on a critical review of literature, including the debates provided by Juridical Sociology, which informs that Law is not exempt from exhortations, being, in fact, an instrument that may be used, invisibly, by dominating classes for dominating others, as a rule.</span></p><div><span><br /></span></div></div>

Elisabeth Jelin, in an important recent work, has criticized the overconcern in studies of the Latin American working class with the structural determinants of class relations and class activity. As she pointed out, this has tended to lead to a deterministic approach on the part of the social sciences, emphasizing the lack of autonomy of the working class in terms of its failure to construct a comprehensive, radical challenge to the dominant system on the political level and its domination by, and acceptance of, demobilizing, bureaucratic leaderships on the trade union level.

Religion in the public space constitutes a structuring issue of the contemporary debates of the social sciences of religion. This article mobilizes part of that literature, circumscribing it to the Latin American context. In that attempt, we work in two dimensions. First, we present how, from the historical and political configurations of our region in the debate, problems and questions about the public space are addressed distant from those commonly encountered when the empirical reference corresponds to the United States-Europe map. The aim is to explore the regional particularities for an effort to theoretically and methodologically strengthen the analysis of this topic. The second dimension contemplated in the text is the presentation of concrete empirical situations in which religion in public space is condensed as a controversy, that mobilize and is mobilized by different actors: politicians, religious, academics, media. These two dimensions go through the thematic issue that follows this article.
