Rethinking Development: Interdisciplinary Readings
by Mariana Valderrama Leongómez, Luis Gabriel Duquino Rojas, Fabio Andrés Vinasco Ñustes, Marco Aguilera-Prado
Description
This book presents three case studies on the ways in which conventional discourse on development conditions, shapes, and intervenes in the lives of human beings and their environment. Moreover, It shows how the epistemological logic that sustains the discourse on development permeates and exceeds its own limits. It also reaches those theoretical and practical proposals that seek to distance themselves from this discourse and that declare themselves to be resistant. This book is made up with these three case studies, where we present different conceptualizations and ways in which the conventional discourse on development affects the quality of life of people. These are subject to public policies, governmental and institutional interventions. Finally, the objective is to highlight the knowledge / power relationship that holds the development discourse and, how it has material and symbolic effects that produce and reproduce unequal conditions of existence.
