Abstract

MIKLOS, Dilson  and  ARAUJO, Helena Maria Marques. Intersections between Walter Benjamin and Boaventura de Sousa Santos: a reading against the grain of reality. Perspectiva [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.3, pp.930-942.  Epub July 29, 2019. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795x.2018v36n3p930.

The article focuses on the thinking of the German philosopher Walter Benjamin and the Portuguese sociologist Boaventura de Sousa Santos and the possible inferences between these two proposals to think reading against the grain of the world and contemporary society. The conceptual options that approach our privileged authors and explain the course of the article seek a new presentation of history that escapes universalism, propose a different approach to the temporal and spatial dimension and outline other epistemic routes that incorporate the voices of the peoples of the South from of their own epistemologies, since the diversity of social, cultural, aesthetic, ethical, and political experiences can not be explained by a single general theory.

Keywords : Walter Benjamin; Boaventura de Sousa Santos; Social exclusion.
