Eurocentrism and its Effects
This manifesto was first made public in Bogotá, Colombia, on 4 January, 2001 with reference to local creativity and self-esteem. It had considerable regional repercussions. The present is a revised and updated version as a contribution to the current debate on Eurocentrism and its effects in the world. We are Colombian exponents of the natural and the social sciences who want to share our concern for certain types of distortions produced when the…
Context and Diffusion of Knowledge
On January 4, 2001, in Bogota, Colombia, the authors issued a self-described `manifesto' 1 to Colombian scholars inviting them to rescue local values of self-esteem and creativity and to resist intellectual colonialism by European and North American colleagues. After months of discussion, they decided to revise the document and publish an expanded text. Eyebrows were raised not only because this is an interdisciplinary document (signed by a biolo…
A North-South Convergence on the Quest for Meaning
Personal experience in Latin America led the author from academic work to fieldwork in participatory action research (PAR). This type of research implies a quest for meaning not only in life experiences but also within the intellectual endeavor. A comparison is made between Agnes Heller's version of such a quest and a previous attempt made in Colombia during the period when PAR was being constructed
Action and Knowledge
The Application of Participatory Action-Research in Latin America
A research methodology that combines theory, action and participation (PAR) committed to further the interests of exploited groups and classes has been initiated and tried in many Third World countries since the 1970s. PAR claims inspiration from phenomenological and Marxist trends adjusted to regional realities and factors; it challenges established academic routines without discarding the need to accumulate and systematise knowledge, and to con…

Essentially, the kings of Spain wanted to gather the Indians into towns for purposes of religious training and in order to facilitate fiscal and political administration.

Fray Pedro De Aguado, the Forgotten Chronicler of Colombia and Venezuela
The story of fray pedro de aguado, O.F.M., and his work is not a happy one. He was a humble friar who had spent the best years of his life in the New Kingdom of Granada preaching to the Indians. He had also taken the pains of gathering material for the writing of a history of the area with which he was acquainted. Back in Spain in 1576 as a representative of his province, Aguado completed the writing, went through the endless protocols, submitted…
"Odyssey of a Sixteenth-Century Document-Fray Pedro de Aguado's "Recopilacion Historial
THE PUBLICATION of a book in Spain during the sixteenth century practically had all the characteristics of the heroic. A keen process of competition among would-be authors, censors, and printers seems to have taken place, while little tangible encouragement was found in official circles. Only those authors succeeded who were able to endure the many trials of the publishing process, and to overcome the physical, intellectual, financial, and bureau…
