Philosophy:Latinx philosophy

From HandWiki

Latinx philosophy is a contemporary thought practice concerned with Latinxs, including the political, social, epistemic, and linguistic significance of Latino/a peoples and cultures.[1] Contemporary practitioners often write in Spanish and/or English. Latinx philosophy often explores subjects such as Latinx identity, borders, immigration, gender, race, feminism, citizenship, incarceration, freedom, postcolonialism, and decoloniality.[2]

Latinx philosophical themes

Prominent themes in Latinx Philosophy include decolonial thought, ecultural and philosophical identity, aesthetics, philosophical anthropology, feminism, Marxism, philosophy of liberation, political independence, and subaltern studies.[2] Subjects of Latinx philosophical writing also include Aztec ethics, the Chicano movement, Mexican existentialism, Liberation philosophy, postcolonialism,and Latin American and Latinx feminisms, the philosophy of immigration, and examinations of the intersection of race and gender in Latinx identity.[3]

Latinx philosophy is shaped by major contributions from Latina feminism and its genealogy with ties to women thinkers of color and Third-World Feminism in the United States.[4] Foundational works by Chicana activists and authors Cherrie L. Moraga[5] and Gloria E. Anzaldúa, including Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, raised consciousness in the fields of philosophy and cultural theory of the marginal, in-between, and mixed cultures (i.e., Chicano)[6] that develop along US southern borders.[7]

The major historical periods of Latinx philosophy include: the Colonial Period, Independence Period, Positivism, and the Contemporary Period.[2]

Contemporary Latinx philosophers

20th century Latinx philosophers include: Walter Mignolo (1941-)[8], Maria Lugones[9] (1948-), and Susana Nuccetelli (1954) from Argentina ; Jorge J. E. Gracia (1942), Gustavo Pérez Firmat (1949)[10] and Ofelia Schutte (1944) from Cuba; Linda Martín Alcoff (1955) from Panama[11]; Giannina Braschi (1953) from Puerto Rico[12]; and Eduardo Mendieta (1963) from Colombia[13]. The formats and styles of Latinx philosophical writing differ greatly as the subject matters. Walter Mignolo’s book "The Idea of Latin America" expounds on how the idea of Latin America and Latin American philosopher, as a precursor to Latinx philosophy, was formed and propagated.[3] Giannina Braschi's writings on Puerto Rican independence focus on economic emancipation, debt structures, and fear of freedom as “feardom”.[14][15] Whereas, Susana Nuccetelli widely questions Latinx thought, the nature of justice, human rights, and Latinx cultural identity.[16][17]

Latinx academic forums

American Philosophy Association, Latinx Cultural Center at Utah State University[18], APA Newsletter on Hispanic/Latino Issues on Philosophy, Society for Mexican-American Philosophy, and the annual Latinx Philosophy Conference are among the academic platforms where scholars and teachers of Latinx philosophy publish, lecture and debate on Latinx philosophical, often including social justice issues (ie. Imperialism, civic and human rights, race, gender, discrimination, and language, citizenship).
