Description
Summary:The aim of this essay is to propose a possible theoretical alignment between the contribution of Latin American decolonial studies--with emphasis on the work of Enrique Dussel--and the theoretical-methodological approach of the theory of practice, starting from a specific understanding of the center / periphery debate for capturing the organizations in their locality. The central argument advocated here is that, assuming that organizations do not follow generic, neutral, and supposedly universal models, they can and should be captured within the locality in which they take place. In this sense, it is proposed the decolonial approach as a theoretical contribution to the approximation of the organizations in their context and the theory of practice as a way of knowing them in their daily, habitual, commonplace and sometimes improvised movement.
