Short Abstract:

Epistemologies of the South propose the expansion of the political imagination beyond the intellectual and political exhaustion of the global North. In this sense they are proposed as a tool of interpretation-reaction to the processes of genocide-ecocide and epistemicide of Eurocentric knowledge.

Long Abstract:

This panel proposes to recover processes of interepistemic knowledge dialogue with which to address the civilisational crisis that capitalist modernity has imposed on the territories of the Global South and North. The frontiers of suffering and socio-environmental vulnerability are increasing and expanding both in space and in their predatory dimension of resources and traditional knowledge. At this time it is necessary to look for ways in which human groups seek to rebalance their ways of life with the territory, biocultural knowledge from the recovery of processes of building communality as a way out of the civilisational abyss that the climate crisis is looming at the beginning of the 21st century. It is urgent to seek to build a new biocentric ethic that incorporates decolonial knowledge for a new socio-epistemic transition towards "another sustainability".

To this end, a series of themes are proposed for debate:

1. Social Justice and Cognitive Justice. Knowledge in Dialogue for a new Construction of the Territory.

2. Redefining the process of Constitutionalism to insert the rights of nature in the forms of construction of a new democracy.

3. Management of Territories for Agroecology and Food Sovereignty.

4. Climate Change and Environmental Refugees. Perspectives on Socio-environmental Vulnerability in the Global South.

5. Decolonising Archives. Building a new Epistemology of Overflowing Eurocentric Knowledge.

6. Sentipensar la Tierra. Identities for a new Global Sustainability.
