Abstract

ADOLFO ALBAN, A.  and  ROSERO, José R. Coloniality of the natural world: imposition of technology and epistemic usurpation? Interculturality, development and e-existence. Nómadas [online]. 2016, n.45, pp.27-41. ISSN 0121-7550.

This article questions the Eurocentric ideas of the natural world that were established by the modern/colonial project as economic rationality. It also inquires into the relationships between culturally differentiated societies and the biological diversity of nature. As a result, it states the importance of not naturalizing the cultural relationship but understanding interculturality as a political, ethical and epistemic project in which education plays a fundamental role towards the transformation of paradigms and popular consciousness around development and nature.

Keywords : coloniality; development; nature; science and technology; reexistence.
