CORDOBA, María Eugenia  y  VELEZ-DE LA CALLE, Claudia. The otherness from the perspective of the transmodernity of Enrique Dussel. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1001-1015. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14208160615.

Transmodernity is a theoretical, methodological and ethical perspective developed by Enrique Dussel, that aims to break with the coloniality of power, of knowledge and of the Western idea of humanity, based on recognition of the denied externality, which emerges as a category of analysis of otherness from the paradigm of the alter ego developed by Dussel. This article applies the approaches of postmodernists who recognize the final moment of modernity to the Latin American reality. The authors also depart this school due to the persistence of their helleno-centrist and hegemonic vision of the Euro-centric paradigms and the lack of dialogue with non-European cultures. In this way, Dussel proposes the Ethics of Liberation as a paradigm that is based on the other as a victim of modernity.

Palabras clave : Otherness; decolonization; Ethics of liberation; transmodernity.
