Repensar la interculturalidad

This collective work is built upon the need to problematize interculturality and the very notion of "intercultural" from perspectives which have been absent or underrepresented in the debate in Ecuador. Such perspectives include, among others, discourse analysis, the history of indigenous education, intercultural philosophy and semiotics. Drawing from frames and concepts of various disciplines, the contributions of this book intend to be both critical and constructive inasmuch as they question some of the assumptions upon which the paradigm of interculturality has been built, and elaborate categories of analysis that are somehow novel to the Ecuadorian debate. The goal of this critical and constructive exercise is to expand our horizon of interpretation so as to enrich not only the theory of interculturality but mainly the practice of interculturality.
