“…Se trata de una validación de lenguajes y formas del ser humano no contempladas por el universalismo estrecho de los derechos humanos hegemónicos o convencionales, que, desde nuestro punto de vista, lo son porque derivan de un origen monocultural occidental, por haber estado al servicio de los dobles criterios y de las justificaciones imperialistas en el ámbito geopolítico, y por constituirse hoy como denominadores mínimos de derecho, aunque congruentes con el orden global individualista, neoliberal y norte-céntrico.Confrontando este pesado legado, que ha limitado en mucho las posibilidades de emancipación de dichos derechos humanos, procuramos mostrar cómo, a partir de las Epistemologías del Sur, las luchas por el derecho a ser humano (el derecho a la vida digna y a la memoria de las indignidades históricas ampliamente silenciadas) tienen que ser fundadoras de una concepción renovada contrahegemónica de los mismos. …”
