    Cosmopolitanism in Latin America: political practices, critiques, and Imaginaries2018

    This chapter explores how a number of Latin American thinkers have put in practice cosmopolitan projects and by doing so developed cosmopolitical projects that should be seen as tools to advance universalism as humanitarian and inter-species projects of conviviality. It describes the idea that cosmopolitics is rooted in histories and interpretations which are the main sources of creation of a cosmopolitan imaginary, a version of what Appiah calls 'rooted cosmopolitanism.' In an empirical sense, in Latin America in the nineteenth century there was the foundation of non-colonial, modern, liberal, and republican states which were marked by a new kind of mixed social configuration. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the cosmopolitan perspective in Latin America has been marked by the fact that we are living in an increasingly connected world. As the work of Mariategui shows, the ethnic and the racial question in post-colonial Latin American dominated debates in the first half of the twentieth century.

    Sobre Metamorfoses e Adaptações: a proposta liberal constitucional atenuada latino-americana2013

    Las tres tesis principales que discutiremos en este trabajo, sobre cómo pensar la modernidad, las transformaciones del Estado y la atenuación, no negación, del liberalismo en su formato constitucional a lo largo del siglo XX, dependen de este supuesto común de que estamos trabajando con una unidad de análisis que tiene una historia, notablemente, de subyugación, resistencia y lucha, que acerca las realidades distintas. Esto nos permitirá hablar del llamado "nuevo constitucionalismo" latinoamericano poniendo en perspectiva el "viejo constitucionalismo", ya que lo que falta en los análisis que destacan la especificidad del contexto contemporáneo es precisamente una investigación y análisis de los momentos preexistentes.
