Una mirada a la cátedra de estudios afrocolombianos a partir de las reflexiones de los líderes de la Red Elegguá en la ciudad de Bogotá
An approach to the Afro-Colombian Studies from the reflections of the leaders of Eleggua network in Bogota, Colombia
Abstract (en)
A reflection is made from an ethnometodological analysis about identities, created by professors and researchers of the Afrocolombian studies class, which belongs to the Elegguá network in Bogotá. This network makes a criticism to the process that, under the figure of multiculturalism, harbors a systematic racism that is naturalized and transversal to the Colombian social order; likewise, it is argued that one of the factors that has legitimized such process is linked to the National Educational System, which has in charge its reproduction. That is, the debate is located in the demand to question the traditional education of the country, which anchored to the official history and to the concept of mestizaje, elements that are part of the monocultural interests of the project of the Colombian Nation State and that have prevented the real implementation of the ethnic recognitions of the current constitution. In this way, the historicity in this research afforded to have a critical approach the place in which the subaltern groups stay. In this order, the theorical approach presents a discussion about the objective cultural borders of the essentialism and constructivism as position that is not far from the hegemonic constructions of the Nation State
