| Abstract | |
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the limits and possibilities of a intercultural paradigm to the Theory of Law in In Latin America, considering: i. the extent academic production of the last 5 decades towards the jus-political treatment of alterity and placing interculturality amongst it; ii. verifying the specific characteristics of Latin America to the juridical integration and to democracy consolidation which is proposed by the interculturalism; and iii. seeking in the process of consolidation and development of indigenous rights some of the elements that indicates the paths to the interculturality proposals in the region. In this purpose this work initiates its analysis by proposing some categories in order to organize the knowledge produced in this field and its locus in the contemporary context (chapter 1). In the conceptualization of the interculturality the method chosen was to get its initial meaning by the contents and terms theoretical and political debates on the issue. In this sense, in spite of being a very common recourse in civil law systems to make use of the normative or legal conceptualizations, it was not the choice of method in this work. The reason why the traditional method was not chosen is that it was considered crucial to the object of this research to show the implicit contents in the intercultural debate departing from its lexical connotation in both theoretical-scientific and social-political fields (chapters 2 and 3). At last, there is an effort to analyze systematically the international law related to the indigenous peoples\' rights, searching for the intercultural elements offered in it. In the conclusive pages, some new intercultural research fields in Theory of Law are pointed out. (AU) | |
