Abstract

Na primeira parte do ensaio, o autor argumenta que as linhas cartográficas "abissais" que demarcavam o Velho e o Novo Mundo na era colonial subsistem estruturalmente no pensamento moderno ocidental e permanecem constitutivas das relações políticas e culturais excludentes mantidas no sistema mundial contemporâneo. A injustiça social global estaria portanto estritamente associada à injustiça cognitiva global, de modo que a luta por justiça social global requer a construção de um pensamento "pós-abissal".In the first part of the essay, the author states that the "abyssal" cartographical lines that used to demarcate the Old and the New World during colonial times are still alive in the structure of modern occidental thought and remain constitutive of the political and cultural relations held by the contemporary world system. Global social iniquity would thus be strictly related to global cognitive iniquity, in such a way that the struggle for a global social justice requires the construction of a "post-abyssal" thought.
