Cartografías conceptuales del páramo andino Hacia un filosofar desde la alta montaña tropical

Abstract

This book proposes a decolonial approach that links the Andean paramo with new ways of thinking about the territory, nature and knowledge. The author examines this ecosystem not only as a geographical space, but as a place of cultural and philosophical resistance, from which knowledge emerges that challenges the dominant narratives of the North.

Through the intersection between diverse epistemologies, decolonial and feminist theories, the book proposes a critical reflection on the conceptual cartographies that configure some of the relationships between humans, beings and forces of the high tropical mountains. It proposes approaching the wasteland as a place of creation and reflection from the South, for resistance and the redefinition of the ways of knowing and inhabiting the world. This work invites us to philosophize from the peaks of the Andes, recognizing the importance of emancipatory struggles in the landscapes of oppression and inequality that we inhabit.
