- Title
The Condition of Latin American Peripheral-Dependency and its Spaces.
- Authors
Brandão, Carlos
- Abstract
The standpoint of this article is that Latin America - a space with huge contrasts, contradictions, structural heterogeneities plus a combination of both backward and modern forms - has always been a privileged locus for scientific and political pronouncements, and for creating an original, exhaustive field of reflection and an innovative method of historicalstructural research. It therefore constitutes a unique world space for exposing specific problems and for a theoretical formulation of the contradictory relationships of development and underdevelopment, center and periphery and structural dependence. Thus, based on this differentiated place, it seeks to discuss the systemic movements on a world scale during the twenty-first century and the impacts they have had on the continent. Some of the main contours are presented in order to construct a collective agenda of reflections on dependent development and space, inspired by the potent critical thinking, which has been developed on this continent and which, it is argued, should be re-established and restored vis-á-vis the structural and conjunctural movements of contemporary capitalism. Emphasis is given to some of the trends of geopolitical and geoeconomic change, currently underway in world capitalism, in order to promote a reflection regarding the specificities of the disputes for the social production of space in Latin America.
