Resumen
AGUDELO GIRALDO, Oscar Alexis y LEON MOLINA, Jorge Enrique. A devaluation of the Eurocentric myth about the universality of human rights: The Latin American suspicion. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.44, pp.986-1004. Epub 01-Oct-2023. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.1260.
From the hermeneutics of suspicion, this article explores how the critical theory of human rights inspired the Latin American perspective of emancipation, which questions the conventional, Eurocentric universalism of human rights. A causal and philosophical-legal investigation is developed, based on the methodology of documentary analysis of bibliographic sources. The research identifies three key tools in Latin American thought that have influenced the devaluation of the imposed vision of human rights: emancipation ideologies, culture and literature. It shows how there have been various social and cultural movements that promote said emancipation. Finally, the research opens new lines of study on the viability of establishing a Latin American culture of human rights, challenging the Western knowledge imposed in this multicultural context.
