when I started my professional life
as a teacher of contemporary history
I realized that the countries of the world
they were grouped in two axes an axis
vertical that separated the countries from
North considered rich of the countries
of the South considered poor and an axis
horizontal that separated those from the east or
socialists of the western
capitalists struck me that to
despite being so different all
they oriented their policies towards the same
purpose economic growth
and these dynamics give it the name of
development
ask me why the development of
where does that concept come from quickly?
I realized that it comes from the sciences
natural to describe a process of
transformation of living beings makes
a purpose
that in this case in the reproduction of
its kind
so when he passed this concept to
describe processes in society
after World War II the
European countries that had been
devastated they met in society
of nations and decided to establish a
new international economic order
so that the southern countries the
Most former colonies will pass from one
state of underdevelopment and started a
process of modernization and
industrialization they called
development to articulate to the
dynamics of economic growth and by
this way contribute to the restoration
of the economy of European countries
from this moment the concept of
development and economic growth
they came back with similar notions and applied
to society as if it were a process
of nature that is naturalized
the concept as if all the countries
were individuals the species of the
nature
these concepts were installed in the
society and in culture as a
Imaginary welfare of progress of
status and power and likewise
imposed as an order as a
mandate to all countries
let’s ask now what happened next
of 70 years of imposing this
concept it is evident that there has been
great technological progress but
we also have to recognize effects
very negative in nature by
example we can observe levels of
pollution in all its components
alteration of their logical exhaustion of
its natural resources and in society
We are finding situations of
extreme poverty like never before
they had seen and likewise a greater
separation between the richest and the most
poor in the year 1992 in a report of
the united nations could already be observed
as 20 percent of the population
world the richest were
perceiving the 83 point 7 percent of
income while 20 percent
of the poorest only received a
1.4 percent for 2014 was already
only 8.6 percent of the rich
controlling more than 85 percent in the
global wealth and 35 percent in
the poorest receiving only 1.5
percent
but the most serious effect of this idea of
development
has been to make us believe that they are the
material goods and technical progress
and economic which gives meaning to the
human existence leading by this way
to a materialistic society and likewise
self-destructive not only by
wars but and especially for a
profound existential emptiness that has
led to suicide situations that
in countries for example like in japan have
come to occupy the first place in
let’s ask mortality is now possible
reverse this situation
very difficult, however, since
started this idea of development have been
found very critical positions already
the pro positive times that have brought
alternative proposals that have given
very important ideas such as theories
of sustainable human development
endogenous territorial among others
but they have some limitations between
they focus only on one
aspect of the problem
and also in the effects of development
our proposal aims for a
element that seems neuralgic to us
that traditional concept and that is the
naturalization of the concept as
We were watching
that is, it is about returning the
social and cultural character to development
and recognize that this is a construction
Collective so we can be
talking about multiple developments that
guide different purposes no longer
it is a linear process towards a single
purpose we are then in a
panorama of multiple developments that
we have named noma france
developments and that are located in a
worldview of society that is no longer
the modern or the postmodern but the
modern trans
this approach that means the development
as a sociocultural construction
multiple historically and territorially
contextualize recovers the history of
the peoples conditions of the past that
comes in the present to project a
future processes that are energized by
social subjects that at the same time
they take into account a series of
characteristics that we have organized
in the categories in some dimensions
which in turn are conceived in a
articulated that is to say we are talking about
integral processes let’s look at some of
characteristics in each of the
dimensions in the human dimension
the human being is conceived as a subject of
development but what does it mean to be a subject
etymology being the word that
comes from Latin is composed in two parts
sub something that is in the deep straight
something that is thrown out is to say the
subject is a human being who is capable of
recognize something that is in the deep to
throw it out as a proposal and what is
what is deep in
First, recognizing yourself as being
integral what it means we are beings
Organic therefore we are nature
nature is not out there we are
nature but also thinking beings
affective creative spiritual and
transcendent
if we are able to equip ourselves with
an identity and also identify a
meaning for our sense existence
that we are able to communicate to another
others and establish with those others that
they are different harmonic relationships and
solidarity
this approach recognizes and part of the
freedom of these human beings to
project its existence and likewise
based on values that have been
internationally recognized
worldwide as values for all the
humanity as human rights are
but also values that come from the
cultures and territories as they are
the ancestral values and that give us
guidelines also to establish
much more harmonic relationships is to say
we are talking about an ethical development
in the sociocultural and political dimension
we are proposing a transit of the
individual subjects towards subjects
collectives that are forming communities
but they are already communities that do not
they meet because they are all the same and
because they have common interests
because they share life horizons
life horizon for its existence
they are open groups that allow
participation of multiple people
including diversity what it means
that each one of us can
participate in different projects and for
this way we are establishing links and
relationships and plots that we are achieving
organize meaningful horizons a lot
more global
the diversity then is not simply
a fact is a great wealth and in some
cases including the possibility of
human survival
this approach also recognizes the
democratic development but here too
there is an interesting element that
alters the logic of democracy
normally we conceive the
democracy as in the field of what
political and we hope that from there it
reflect in the economic dynamics and
social
here the logic reverses starts from
the social and the cultural in life
everyday depending on some
horizontal relationships that are based on
a deep respect and recognition of
another one that in turn is going to express itself in the
economic democracy that is built
expanding what we recognize the circle
of the self and the ego
and allowing that circle to enter
people from outside even people
weird that we do not even know
giving us the possibility of being
in solidarity with people of others
ends of the world is finally expressed
then in the political sphere both
local as international looking
also a global democracy in the
scope and in the economic dimension and
ecological we find a concept
structuring and very nice the concept
of oikos that refers to some
harmonic relationships in the case of
economy harmonious relations between
human beings and the ecology among
elements of nature and likewise
harmonic relationships between these two
these two dimensions
Oikos is a concept
contrapose according to Aristotle to the
chrematistics that is the art of making
wealth in that became this
economy from this concept of oikos
then theories have also emerged
very important economic
human solidarity economic economy
ecological economy circular economies
of care
that tend for some forms
financing alternatives
production as free production but
also the one that recycles elements
the forms of exchange do not
necessarily monitored as they are the
bartering of goods and services and forms
of consumption that also take into account
the reuse of goods already used and
especially the option for a system of
non-consumer life much more free more
lightweight lighter
in this way of understanding the economy
There is a lot of emphasis on production and
the consumption of local goods and likewise
in research and in production
of suitable alternative technologies
to culture and to territories and
economic conditions of these
territories
in the territorial and historical dimension
the territory is understood as a
inhabited space and therefore of great
meaning for those who inhabit it
a territory is configured as a
referent of identity and at the same time
as a right perhaps one of the
most violated rights at the time
current in history you see how it
recognizes the importance of memory
as significant events of the past
that you have to come to the present that
can be negative so as not to repeat the
story but also positive for
enhance it and to launch it as
horizon of meaning
likewise, the
articulation of local logics with
the global logics
let’s look at the big challenge now
educate for this type of development that
implies that means implies first
instead be aware that we are all
educators
means contributing to the formation of
sentient beings with great capacity
you self value yourself to build a
identity to project a sense of
existence to communicate it to others already
through leadership dynamics
collectives propose it for society
of having clear ethical references
to be clients to establish relationships
harmonious and supportive and at the same time
be responsible with the use of
nature’s goods be highly
creative
located historically and territorially and
still be able to establish
relationships with people who are
Worldwide
we are talking about beings
capable of proposing and projecting
collectively horizons of meaning
for society that are significant
and viable
and that in turn are capable of
position ourselves in the political areas
local and international so that
are reflected in policies that contribute
to the transformation of the world towards a
more humane just world
solidary
sustainable
that is, people who are capable of
contribute to the construction
of a new world thank you very much
