Resumen
MONROY-ALVAREZ, Silvia. About Indigenous Intellectuals and Activists: Two Possible Intercultural Trajectories. univ.humanist. [online]. 2008, n.66, pp.301-323. ISSN 0120-4807.
This article analyzes the trajectories of two leaders of the Cauca (Colombia) indigenous movement, Manuel Quintín Lame from the Nasa people, and Juan Gregorio Palechor from the Yanacona people. The text tries to frame this discussion inside a critical vision of the geopolitics of knowledge, from which possible solutions are contemplated in favor of consolidating autonomous Latin American thoughts. The work specifically realizes a revision of the categories "indigenous intellectuals" and "indigenous militants," showing that this division is an ethical-epistemological heritage that needs to be questioned. Fundamentally, the debate consists of showing intercultural trajectories that, in fact, have constructed political communities, and because of that, revindicate interdependence between science and politics, a proper dichotomy of fundamentally Euro-centric thought.
