WE ARE WHAT WE LEARN, THEN WHAT WE TAUGHT? AN ANALYSIS OF DISCURSIVE PRACTICES AND OUR IDENTITY

Abstract

One of the themes that seems to have formed the basis of our relations in the social and political field are discursive issues. In all areas of everyday life, to be private or public speeches have become a social practice undisputed when analyzing the historical processes of our local, national and regional realities. Speeches are a capture device, which shapes our way of being and being in the world. Therefore imposes the need to know and understand those discursive practices we learned or taught us, because they shape and “control” our behavior, our opinions, our ways we relate with each other and ways to participate in social and political life of our peoples. The objective is to analyse the mechanisms of discursive practices in the construction of our Latin American identity, taking as a basis the methodology of some Latin American projects, suggested a look at the history of ideas-local emergencies in terms of social and political relations.
The modernity/coloniality relationship constitutes one hegemonic speeches that try to deconstruct the theories postcolonial and subaltern studies.
Many are the authors who have worked on a different form of make and study our history to our philosophy, intellectual work includes procedural suggestions about the April, ways to understand the concept of ideology, the need to extend the epistemological status of the methodology of the history of ideas in order to address the relationship between the experience of otherness and historiography. This story is that further development has taken place in the political and social fields, primarily recovers the importance of the collective subject of ideas.
