JIMENEZ MOLINA, Cristian. Cultural Research from State. Reflections in six moves. Acad. (Asunción) [online]. 2019, vol.6, n.2, pp.178-191. ISSN 2414-8938.  https://doi.org/10.30545/academo.2019.jul-dic.7.

From the critical view of various academic-intellectual projects such as cultural studies, subaltern studies, the modernity/coloniality project, postcolonial thought or the decolonial turn, among others, the common tendency marks the deep criticism of the conventional paradigm of modern science Western, questioned by its hegemonic, excluding and Eurocentric character. This criticism, although it does not raise the absolute negation of the contributions and developments achieved, comes to the need to revise and punctualize the contingent character of the epistemological, methodological and disciplinary canons in force, betting on the diversification of the postulates, the porosity of the approaches and the extension of the logics/languages​​/tools that guide the investigative exercise and the academic and intellectual practice. Supported by some of these contributions, this essay seeks a primitive approach to the attempt to describe/discover other possibilities for cultural research from the State. The adopted route proposes a series of six changes that explore the potential of shock and transformation of the investigative exercise, conceived as activity eminently focused on the others. The considerations are based on the description of the particular research situation and cover some of the possible coordinates, power logics and areas of tension that would be inherent in the positioning of cultural research in the state institutionality. Amplified by the contributions of various authors, our proposal is framed in the tendency that calls for the integral renewal of research practice, as an intellectual exercise representative of the forms of reproduction of knowledge and as an ethical-political position that contributes to the construction of new worlds not marked by exclusion and erasures that promoted the modern/colonial logic of the conventional paradigm of science.
