Español

Fake news, populisms, environmental risks due to the anthropocene are radiating signs of disconcerting crises in recent years. Which other questions should be asked in order to face the uncertainties and concerns that they open up to us? Which new approaches are being rehearsed in the social sciences to confront the challenges we face? Where can we look for more precise and alternative definitions?

This essay explores the evolution of indigenous demands in Latin America as diagnostic areas that indicate failures in coexistence and suggest questions and ways to rethink the times we live in.
