ABSTRACT:
Different “culturalisms” have emerged in recent times as forms to address, manage or defend cultural diversity. But these understandings show a basic flaw: they can be used to advance objectives that can be contradictory to the interest of subordinated peoples and communities. This dissertation argues that it is necessary a shift in the definition of “culture” and the incorporation of the notion of “colonial difference” for a better comprehension of the struggles for the right of difference. It draws examples from the Ecuadorian Indigenous Movement, one of the most successful in Latin America. Specifically, it analyses the political-epistemological constructions the movement has deployed and one of its more ambitious projects, the creation of Amawtay Wasi, the Intercultural University of Indigenous Nationalities and Peoples.
