A decolonial essay from the Social Sciences

Abstract

This work pretends to contribute with ideas that enable us to start thinking about the academic future from the novel approaches of Latinoamerican Social Sciences that question the colonial influence on our ways of doing and thinking science.
This work is an attempt to search for another place from where to manifest knowledge. I draw an imaginary line that takes us to the heart of the origins of the problematic nodes identified in the social sciences and its curriculum. I take into consideration the influence of their path in the present, in order to work in a special manner observing our past and present through a decolonial mirror. With that purpose, I problematize several aspects that form the academic, methodological and historical spine of the social sciences to open a window and think of a new social work.
