ABYA YALA AND THE FLOWERING COMMUNITY:: decoloniality and the community process

Abstract

This article try to establish a certain relationship between community and studies on decoloniality. Jacques Rancière (2009) and Georges Bataille (1992) understand the community as a relationship of sharing experiences. The Modernity/Coloniality group in order to put tension on the relations of colonial exploitation that designed the logic of modernity, rescued visions of knowledge that were left at the margin of modern history. The idea of ​​naturalizing a different form of knowledge where interpretations of the world start from experience, it subverts the logic of a positive knowledge in which the coloniality of power, knowledge and being, induces in the lives and actions of society. As an alternative to this particular situation of control, communal doing that is based on the frontier of knowledge contributes to establishing other contacts and generating sharing among people, linked no longer by a constitution, but above all by inner experiences.
