| Sumario: | The present text aims to de-construct three of the main theoretical problematizations from which the exegesis of the decoloniality of power is thought. In the first place, a genealogy of the category of race is realized; secondly, it is analyzed the way in which decolonial discourse understands power; and then, it is analized the implications of thinking to coloniality as a heterarchical matrix. The thesis that articulates and gives coherence to the present study is that the central character of the racialization of the subjects in the coloniality of power comes from the ontological change that occurred, simultaneously, in the construction of modern capitalism, with the conquest and invention of America as problematic, geosocial and identity unit. Thus, by establishing a critical dialogue with the contributions that Aníbal Quijano and Santiago Castro-Gómez have made to these studies, an epistemological alternative is offered to the dominant notions in the contributions of both authors. |
