PEREZ-RUIZ, Maya Lorena. Translation and Hybridization as Problems for Autonomous, Collaborative, and Decolonizing Interculturality. LiminaR [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.15-29. ISSN 2007-8900.

Nowadays, three models of interaction show the possible relationship between scientific and indigenous knowledge systems: an ethnocentric colonial perspective, an intercultural integrating perspective, and an autonomous, collaborative, decolonizing intercultural perspective. Often those three models do not analyze how the translation of knowledge and hybridization influences intercultural dialogue. In this paper, through the lens of interculturality, we reflect on the asymmetric interaction between the hegemonic scientific and the subaltern indigenous systems; and wepropose that the construction of meanings, contents andpurposes of interculturality can be accomplished through consensual mechanisms in order to move beyond the colonizing perspective prevailing in dialogue about knowledge.
