Traditional Knowledge and Intellectual Property Rights in Latin America: Towards a Decolonial Approach
This article analyses the underlying ideological dimension of the constitutional reforms in Latin America, with a detailed look at the contested process of Traditional Knowledge (TK) protection and its legal manifestations. Drawing on decolonial theory and textual analysis of constitutions of some Latin American countries (specifically, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia), together with case studies and court cases, it demonst…
Storytelling, precarity and decolonizing practices
In this article, we explore the decolonial feminist's contribution to the study of precarity and explain the role of storytelling in legitimizing the knowledge of 'the other' in the activism/critique of decolonial feminism. The article offers a critique of the recent conceptualization of precarity that tends to ignore the history of racialized and feminized bodies, and charts decolonial feminists' conception of storytelling, in particular through…
Political polarisation and the extension of government: A Revisited Concept
This article problematises conceptualisations of political polarisation and offers a new concept of it as a device of power. Thus defined, ‘political polarisation’ combines insights from governmentality studies and the concept of antagonism to identify what constitutes as polarised politics. First, the article shows two limitations of existing conceptualisations of polarisation: an overemphasis on partisan identity and the lack of considerations …

By focusing on the Opposition's articulation of democracy, the article examines how this movement became possible and how it succeeded in maintaining support. Opinion articles covering the period October 2001 to April 2002 were analysed using the theoretical framework of logics within discourse theory. The article argue…

Como parte de su competición por la hegemonía, tras el surgimiento del proyecto político del chavismo, el artículo examina la narrativa de identidad de la oposición en Venezuela a partir de entrevistas realizadas en 2016 a integrantes venezolanos pertenecientes a este espec…
The Metaphor of the Day in Ancient Mexican Myth and Ritual [and Comments and Reply]
The myths of the pre-Columbian Mesoamericans follow a pattern that is well known to historians of religion. At the time of creation, all created beings, whether people or gods, lived together with the Supreme Couple in a paradise in which death was unknown. As a result of a sin-usually the first sexual relations-the creatures were exiled to earth and darkness, and death made its appearance. The sacrifice of a hero became necessary-one who, like t…
The Alleged Diffusion of Hindu Divine Symbols into Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica: A Critique [and Comments and Reply]
Parallels between certain religous symbols in Hindu and Mesoamerican cultures have been drawn by three modern writers and adduced as evidence suggestive of trans-Pacific diffusion of Hindu influences dating to about the mid-1st millennium A.D. and later. The symbols concerned are those of the deities of the lunar asterisms and the planets-the naksatra and navagrahah series, respectively-of the Hindus as compared with the structural features and s…
