Salvajes, indígenas, cojas, inválidas: Epistemologías anticapacitistas del Sur / Selvagem, indígena, coxo, inválido: epistemologias anticapacitistas do Sul / Wild, Indigenous, Lame, Invalid: Anti-Ableist Epistemologies of the South

Resumen El objetivo del manuscrito es presentar una primera aproximación a una propuesta epistemológica que reflexione y se ocupe de la construcción y legitimación de conocimientos generados desde corporeidades abyectas, anormales o tullidas geopolíticamente ubicadas al Sur. Pone especial atención al sistema sexo-género-capacidad en la organización social y epistemológica del saber. En ese devenir, identificamos una posicionalidad y riqueza desperdiciada para el análisis y transformación social regional como resultado de un ordenamiento moderno colonial. De ahí que esta propuesta se inscriba dentro del pensamiento crítico latinoamericano para reflexionar sobre esos lugares otros de enunciación abyecta.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma abordagem inicial de uma proposta epistemológica que reflita e lide com a construção e a legitimação do conhecimento gerado a partir de corporeidades abjetas, anormais ou inválidas, geopoliticamente localizadas no Sul. Dá atenção especial ao sistema de sexo-gênero-capacidade na organização social e epistemológica do saber. No processo, identificamos uma posição e uma riqueza desperdiçadas para a análise e transformação social regional como resultado de uma ordem colonial moderna. Por isso, esta proposta se inscreve no pensamento crítico latino-americano para refletir sobre esses outros lugares de enunciação abjeta.

Abstract The aim of the article was to present a first approach to an epistemological proposal that reflects on and deals with the construction and legitimation of knowledge generated from abject, abnormal, or crippled corporeities geopolitically located in the South. It pays special attention to the sex-gender-ability system in the social and epistemological organization of knowledge. In this development, we identify a positionality and wasted wealth for regional social analysis and transformation as a result of a modern colonial order. Hence, this proposal is inscribed within the Latin American critical thinking to reflect on those other places of abject enunciation.
