Abstract

A marked trend in Latin America has been the one of constructing knowledge on the premise of the historical development with a more or less precise, emancipatory, and valued direction. But the twentieth century gave us a capricious, uncertain, highly indeterminate, and unsecured history. In this sense, rather than a pessimistic understanding, the history of the twentieth century requires embodying substantive challenges. We face enormous demands in regards to developing our ability to think as Latin Americans; and this relates to the formation of subjects able to see and to think new and viable realities, which is essential to rethink the ways to construct knowledge; understanding that this should be historical in nature rather than theoretical in the face to expand limits as possible, in perspective for the future.
