25 - 27 March

In current debates on colonialism, some authors make a distinction between colonialism and 'coloniality', the latter being understood as a historical phenomenon that is much more complex than colonialism, and which has lasted until the present. The concept moots the existence of a hierarchy of power that enables the re-production of relationships of territorial and epistemic domination that perpetuate exploitation and which, in turn, subordinate and minimise the knowledge, experience and ways of life of those who are dominated and exploited.

Framed within the context of Latin America, this cycle is comprised of three conferences in which different aspects of the de-colonial theory and geopolitics of knowledge will be analysed. The conferences form part of a wider series of activities that include the participation of the Complutense University of Madrid and the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
