Abstract

ALCANTARA-CEBALLOS, Yuzzel. The production of urban-architectural knowledge. A cultural colonization?. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2019, vol.29, n.2, pp.185-192.  Epub Aug 30, 2019. ISSN 0124-7913.

In the following reflection I present four analytical categories related to the economic and cultural sphere such as globalization, risk society, marginality and rationalism with which the urban-architectural space is taught in a university context. The reflection presented below is part of the work carried out in the seminar: "Critical analysis of architecture and urban planning: contemporary options". It corresponds to a self-criticism that tries to account for the need to decolonize the scientific knowledge with which it is taught to think about Latin American architecture and city.

Keywords : cultural colonization; urban-architectural knowledge; Latin America.
