El Sinequizaje. Una Alternativa a la Construcción Dualista del Mestizaje en Latinoamérica

The term miscegenation in Latin America carries a dualistic charge built on an ethnic allusion from Europe, Africa and America, and the idea of existence of three races: white, black and Indian. Synequizaje problematizes the dualisms identified within miscegenation and builds a category that gives it greater dynamism. Synequizaje is based on the principles of synechism of philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce who proposes to create a continuous and infinite relationship between the parts that make up a reality. It distances itself from racialized categories and constitutes a new way of approaching the dualisms inserted in the idea of miscegenation and integrates them from observation of the phenomena that are located in their not clearly delimited borders. This proposal intends to broaden the discussion and propose alternatives for the understanding of synequization, within an increasingly connected world, with a multidirectional flow of knowledge, with interactions between different ancestry, cultures and dynamics created by the conditions of globalization, in which codes, symbols, narratives, meanings and heterogeneous discourses predominate.
