| description | This article is about politics of difference and sameness that accompany the enactment of globality. Is about the dynamic of the imperial globality and its global regime of coloniality as one of the most salient features of the modern colonial world system in the early twenty-first century. It is also, in a literal sense, about the geopolitics of knowledge. It develops its argument, in part, borrowing from Joan Martinez Alier's definition of political ecology as the study of ecological distribution conficts. It argues that a Eurocentric globality has an obligatory counterpart in the systematic act of encubrimiento del otro. A kind of "global coloniality". Six concepts are key to understand this argument: place, capital, nature, development e identify. Colombia is a theater of this imperial globality. |
