Imperio, colonialismo y ciencias humanas en las Américas y el PacÃfico
Series: - Critical Latin America, Volume: 7
Este volumen ofrece una visión novedosa acerca de las ciencias humanas a través del concepto central de encuentro. Inspirados por los estudios indÃgenas y los estudios latinoamericanos, los textos presentan estudios de casos individuales para explorar las dinámicas de los encuentros entre investigadores, intermediarios y sujetos de estudio en contextos imperiales y coloniales en las Américas y el PacÃfico. Cada capÃtulo explora las consideraciones éticas y las prácticas de producción de conocimiento que eran comunes en las ciencias de campo y las expediciones cientÃficas, en las instituciones de custodia y en los debates acerca de gobernanza; en su conjunto, los textos presentan una reevaluación de cómo es que los individuos y las comunidades que se vieron convertidos en sujetos de investigación aceptaron, criticaron o subvirtieron esas prácticas. Todas estas lÃneas forman una propuesta novedosa para la historización de las ciencias humanas.

This volume presents a scholarly reconsideration of the human sciences by centering the notion of the encounter. Drawing upon insights from Indigenous studies and Latin American studies, individual case studies delve into the dynamics of encounters between researchers, intermediaries, and research subjects in imperial and colonial contexts across the Americas and Pacific. Authors explore ethical considerations and knowledge production practices that prevailed in field and expedition science, custodial institutions, and governance debates, and they collectively re-evaluate how individuals and communities subjected to research projects embraced, critiqued, or subverted them. Together, they offer a new approach to historicizing the human sciences.
