Decolonial criticism in Clastres, Dussel ando Guattari

Abstract

This work intends to investigate the question of the subaltern and the colonizer, from the perspective of the Philosophy of Liberation, aiming, therefore, an escape from the constant threat of the capitalist colonizing system as a way of life of civilizations. The perspectives of the authors discussed here are complementary and aim, therefore, to escape the constant threat of the capitalist colonizing system as a way of life of civilizations. The authors' perspectives addressed here seek to show how the (European) ego captures the vital force of cultures such as Latin America, which survived the colonist and are still excluded, despised, oppressed and ignored by ethnocentrism. In addition, the authors Clastres, Dussel and Guattari, build a diagnosis of modernity and its mode of social production, sharing a critical spirit that sees a transforming potential of the human being through marginalized subjectivities. We therefore seek to present a synthesis of the three authors to discuss ways to assume a liberating and integral role for the human being (an ethical-political dimension), emphasizing that freedom must be dissociated from a "utilitarian" character and must turn to the own reality of the subaltern (not of its colonist), thus enabling, as a war machine, a continuous primordial struggle to potentiate the sensitivity of marginalized subjectivities, therefore a philosophy from the South to the South.
