BELLO URREGO, Alejandra del Rocío. Analysis of the Third World Category as a Modern/Colonial Reproduction Device of Euro-referenced Hegemony. univ.humanist. [online]. 2015, n.79, pp.41-62. ISSN 0120-4807.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.UH79.actm.

I inquired about how the Euro-referenced hegemony materialized, as contained in the expression third world, using a reformulation of the narrative analysis of narratives methodology. For this purpose, I carried out focused interviews on the basis of an intentional structural sampling. The theoretical/ conceptual frame is established around the definition of a modern/colonial world system, and the structuring of the colonial dominance pattern over the devices for classification and establishment of hierarchies derived from the categories race, gender, sexuality and class. The results are shown as a structured narrative in relation to the narratives I worked with, and the conceptual framework used. I introduce there how the device third world is unveiled in the narratives as an expression of the hegemony established in the modernity/colonialism. Through said device this system expresses and reproduces, intervening in the assignation of privileges and exclusions. The traces of modernity/ colonialism are present in the narratives analyzed, making visible the pattern by which the system reproduces, maintaining a Euro-referenced hegemony.

Keywords : world system; modernity-colonialism; third world.
