Narratives of history teaching in continuing education processes

2025-11-04T18:29:15+00:00

In this work, we aim to assess and give new meaning to the teaching practices implemented in the Interdisciplinary Permanent Seminar held within the Faculty of Humanities, National University of Salta, currently named "Decolonial and Cultural Studies on Ancestral Knowledge of Afro and Indo-America." When reviewing the curricula of the country's main universities to identify common patterns in their structures, a marked Eurocentric scheme is found that privileges European history and approaches coined in Western Europe. Although the decolonial perspective has grown around some disciplines such as philosophy and sociology, it is still lacking in history, although it proposes a particular approach to history that focuses on decentering Europe from the historical narrative and recovering different peoples and regions that were hidden and subordinated by the modern Eurocentric view. The goal is to deconstruct the conceptual and categorical tools used in various educational contexts. At the same time, to reflect from decolonial theoretical-methodological postulates, some of the issues addressed in a comparative and interdisciplinary key, namely: a) Crisis of democracies; b) Regional integration, and c) Ecology and social justice.

The importance of the transmission of ancestral knowledge to preserve the culture

2025-11-04T18:44:54+00:00

The aim of this study is to highlight the ancestral knowledge passed down from generation to generation in families dedicated to the production of artisanal bread. The emphasis is on the importance of this transmission, which is an essential part of Salta's culture. Additionally, similarities and differences in the use of machinery in the production and commercialization of products will be analyzed, including the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The commercial circuit surrounding the sale of these products will be explored, examining how it relates to the worldview in local festivities, which are key meeting points for artisanal commercialization. The durability and persistence of these practices in the studied families will be considered, as well as their efforts to find ways to survive and progress in line with the festive calendar. In this research, interviews will be used as the main method of information collection, following the idea proposed by Weima, G; Iño, Daza, regarding the integration of orality and historical memory in research processes.

The dimensions of coloniality in the mapuche-tehuelche struggle against the benetton group and the emergence of libertarian minarchism

2025-11-05T17:56:39+00:00

This essay examines three dimensions of coloniality that have shaped the history and contemporary reality of the Mapuche-Tehuelche people in Argentine Patagonia. The first of these, the coloniality of "Being," which affects identity and subjectivity in relation to the territory, will be addressed from the problem of the "historical construction of the desert." The second dimension of analysis, the coloniality of "Knowing," which delegitimizes ancestral knowledge in the face of hegemonic scientific discourse, will be addressed from the strategies of resistance to update silenced memories. The third dimension of analysis, the coloniality of "Being," which reconfigures human relations with the natural environment, will be explored from the territorial tensions with the Benetton business conglomerate and its neo-colonization practices. The study also adds an analysis of the emergence of libertarian minarchism after Javier Milei's electoral success, highlighting how this phenomenon introduces new ideological and political challenges for indigenous communities. This work seeks not only to question the paradigms that have supported the construction of national identity, but also to open a space to reflect on the continuities and transformations of coloniality in the present.

Critical perspectives on the economic and religious practices of the San Antonio de Animaná community, Salta, Argentina. 2007-2015

2025-11-10T19:41:26+00:00

This is a very interesting and insightful topic! You're exploring a complex and important issue, and your writing is clear and concise. Here's a translation of your text, keeping the original meaning and flow: This article aims to highlight and "show" the existence of "alternative knowledge, values, and resources" related to the lives of the inhabitants of the San Antonio de Animaná Community (San Carlos Department, Salta, Argentina). We explore how the "Animanan" relationship with the "capitalist world" manifests, and how the dominance of the Animaná Farm has influenced and continues to influence the individual and collective interests of this community. This is done with the purpose of presenting, through a case study, the existence of a "dual" logic of coexistence that is "limited" by the reality of a border thinking that the community safeguards and that implies: on the one hand, on the religious level, the existence of a space of intersection that shows exchanges and interactions of forms of spirituality and the existing positions regarding the links between traditional religious practices and those of an ancestral nature. On the other hand, in the economic aspect, the recognition of a regional production strategy that seeks to strengthen productive sectors at the local level and that would constitute an alternative to the use of natural resources in the face of existing instances of domination. This work is based on the critical analysis of specialized literature and the diverse interpretations of the personal testimonies of members of families from the aforementioned community.
