OSL Symposium ‘Decentering Narratives in Latin America: Shaping Possibilities from Resistance’
/2 Comments/in News and Events, Voor Leden /by Alberto GodioliAmsterdam | 1 October 2021, 14:00-18:00 CET
Multiple narratives contribute to the shaping of individual and communal beliefs and practices — even more so today. However, what makes some of these narratives more pervasive than others? In the processes of sense- and decision-making, hegemonic narratives are positioned in the centre, namely the place from which institutions exert their influence. These ‘central’ narratives tend to naturalize the unequal production and distribution of meaning, thereby marginalizing, invisibilizing and excluding many peripheral voices. Latin America is a prime example of how central narratives can generate social injustice, but also of emerging counter-hegemonic narratives.
