BARRERA CASTANEDA, Claudia Fernanda. Subjectivity in Latin America and the Caribbean from critical views of contemporary thought. Tla-melaua [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.46, pp.238-264.  Epub Oct 02, 2020. ISSN 2594-0716.  https://doi.org/10.32399/rtla.0.46.580.

This article`s aim is to review the importance of subjectivity in Latin America and the Caribbean, as to have a brief explanation of its configuration, and integration in self context. Paradigms from European thinkers have showed relations between the subject and the symbolic forms. Michel Foucault and Félix Guattari present certain subjectivity aspects to explain what the subject values and captures from what is learned. In contrast some perspectives by Édouard Glissant and Ernst Cassirer authors linked to symbolic hermeneutics: This is in order to question the needs in the creation of the imaginary, with respect to socio-cultural and symbolic aspects. By presenting the critics and diagnoses of these authors and their significant conceptions of thought in respect to subjectivity and the imaginary, some relations are established between America and Europe. Some new perspectives are suggested as a way to contribute to the research methodologies.

Keywords : Subjectivity; subject; education; imaginary; ecology; ecosophy; History; Cultural subjectivity; relationship; culture and symbolic forms.
