On the Politics of Media
modernidad/colonialidad], a multidisciplinary and multigenerational network of intellectuals active in Latin America. Includes sociologists Aníbal Quijano, Edgardo Lander, Ramón Grosfoguel and Agustín Lao-Montes, semiologists Walter Mignolo and Zulma Palermo, pedagogue Catherine Walsh, anthropologists Arturo Escobar and Fernando Coronil, literary critic Javier Sanjinés and philosophers Enrique Dussel, Santiago Castro-Gómez, María Lugones and Nelson Maldonado-Torres. It advances a decolonial perspective which starts from the discussion on the power relations installed in the 16th century with the conquest of what we now know as America. This implies a racialization that is at the base of the installation of a capitalist economic system and European modernity. This also allows distinguishing it from Postcolonialism, which has been generally dominated by authors from the old English and French colonies in Asia, Oceania and the Middle East, who argue from a culturalist perspective and begin colonial history 300 years later.
