La categoría resistencia como política antineoliberal en América Latina después de la caída del muro de Berlín

Abstract

The present work aims to develop the configuration of spaces of "resistance" in Latin America, after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which meant the end of the bipolar geopolitical globally, and the global dominance of neoliberalism in the hands of U.S. imperialism.

The resistances in Latin America represent various social actors and claims, but all of them come together in an anti-neoliberal program thought from the South; the construction of paradigms rooted in our context is defined as the only possibility of a decent future for humanity.

Equally, we propose the "critical resistance" as an epistemological and political attitude of rejection of neoliberalism, which should allow the construction of alternatives against neoliberalism, based in social, political, economic and epistemological criteria. The new political projects, guided by hope, have to recognize the “alterity” as identity of the countries of South, with the idea that "another world is possible".
