JARDIM, Raoni Machado  e  NOVION, Martin-Léon-Jacques Ibáñez de. INTELLECTUAL AND LATIN AMERICAN ACADEMICS: BETWEEN DOMINATORS AND DOMINATES. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2019, n.49, e10731.  Epub 17-Jan-2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n49.10731.

In order to understand the space in which Latin American intellectuals work today it is necessary to carry out a revision about the constitution of this field, drawing from it, for critical analysis, the relation between capitalism, the development of sciences and academic institution. The naturalization of epistemic racism has helped to structure Eurocentrism and its hierarchical binomials within modern capitalism, a feature still outstanding in the fields of knowledge production, whether in research or teaching, now strongly conditioned by the directives of transnational neoliberalismo. It is against this historical explanation that the position of Latin American intellectuals in the academic structure, marked by the dominated-dominating paradox, must be analyzed. Their engagement in the opening of the universities through an inter-cultural, critical, dialogical and horizontalized education will be defended as a way of overcoming this paradox towards a more autonomous and representative thinking of the local realities of Latin America.
