Abstract

ROJAS, AXEL. (SELF)-GOVERNMENT IN THE NAME OF CULTURE: INTERCULTURALITY AND ETHNIC GROUP EDUCATION IN COLOMBIA. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2011, vol.47, n.2, pp.173-198. ISSN 0486-6525.

The purpose of this article is to trace the rise of interculturality in Colombia by focusing on the process by which it has become articulated to education programs aimed at ethnic groups. Working from the concept of governmentality, I will argue that instead of being an alternative to multiculturalism, interculturality rather operates as one of its technologies of governing alterity. So to speak, it operates as a series of devices aimed at the orientation of the conduct of certain populations and individuals, in this case, on behalf of their cultural difference.

Keywords : multiculturalism; interculturalism; ethno-education; governmentality.
