DECOLONIZING EPISTEMIC AND NORMATIVE INSTITUTIONAL PROCESSES:

THE SEARCH FOR A NEW PLURAL SENSE OF COEXISTENCE IN THE "COMMON"

Abstract

The proposal that will be developed has as a problem to outline some elements characterizing the epistemological privilege of the World System/Capitalist/Patriarchal/ Colonial Modern, determinants of the civilizational/ecological crisis in times of fractured narratives, exhaustion of references and destructive policies. As an answer, it is suggested to print epistemic diversity with the necessary re-establishment of complex, plural and relational landmarks that can promote the decolonization of the instituted imaginaries and the decolonial turning of the structures of domination towards a pluriversal/alternative paradigm of planetary/ecocentric coexistence. Such assertions allow us to present the general objective: to think transdisciplinaryly of an alternative to this capitalist, patriarchal and colonial civilization, marked by the destruction of Life, whose criterion, now, is the reproduction of life in the horizons of Biocivilization. In this attempt, the decolonizing struggles for this project include the plural parameters of normativity, articulated around the principle of the Common and the ethics of care, redefining the way one wants to live. The theoretical development and its problematization, comprising three moments, will imply the methodological choice by a qualitative approach with exploratory profile, through bibliographic research techniques in national and international sources, reflecting the specificities of the processes of decolonization of epistemic, social and normative institutionalities under the guiding axis of the "Common" principle.
