Lo que implica transformar la universidad en perspectiva decolonizadora

Abstract

In this paper some approaches to the issue of university transformation are presented, from the link between university and de-colonizer thought, assuming this thought as a substantial dimension to addressing this issue. The aim is thus to answer the following questions: What characterized the colonization of the university and the thought? What does it means decolonizing the thought and the university? bearing in mind that the «colonial way of looking» continues through the Venezuelan university and, therefore, that such questions have to do with the crisis of rationality and legitimacy impacting the university. Questions that impels us to pose the challenge of how to think from the South.
