Occupy, Recuperate and Decolonize
Jaramillo, Nathalia E.
Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, v10 n1 p67-75 Apr 2012
This paper examines the pedagogical implications of the Occupy Movement from a Latin American decolonial theoretical perspective. Central to this analysis is a geo-political understanding of the ways in which capital and coloniality are historically "entangled." Building upon the notion of a "neoliberal revolution" advanced by various Marxist scholars, the author argues for integrating an analysis of coloniality within the evolving forms that capital assumes in the global totality. In this essay, educational theory and practice is situated within the interrelated paradigms of Marxist and decolonial praxis.
