Resumo

This talk will discuss the implications of an "ecology of knowledges" for other ways of conceptualizing Democracy away from the Western Liberal conception of Democracy. The talk will be divided in two sections: non-Western concepts of Democracy and the challenges the latter implies for a Multiversal as opposed to Universal world (Boaventura's concept of 'translation' being one method to articulate the Multiversal).
