Decolonial thinking and pluriversality politics: modern political thought and indigenous experiences in Latin America

Abstract

Drawing from decolonial perspectives, this paper problematizes the eurocentrism in modern politics. In the first place, it proposes to dismantle key theoretical concepts in International Relations Theories, with emphasis in the Hobbesian perspective. Subsequently, it presents other philosophical conceptions, with an emphasis on indigenous voices from Latin America. It suggests that such knowledges can be read as indigenous epistemic insubordination and lead to other possible political practices.
