THE POLITICS OF NAMING

This article explores the definitions, constructions, understandings and struggles around Cultural Studies as a whole in Latin America, giving particular attention to its central legacies and the differences among them. Its interest is to bring to the fore the ways in which the political and de-colonial afford perspectives that challenge and make tense the hegemonic academic enterprise as a whole, and drive efforts to (re)think Cultural Studies – or better called inter-Cultural Studies – as projects of intervention in which knowledge and thought are intertwined with transformation and the making of a radically distinct social world.
