AMÉRICA LATINA NA (IN)DIFERENÇA:

latinidades (in)cobertas

Abstract

This article proposes to examine, through Decolonial Comparative Literature, the inter-places and inter-bodies that constitute the critical fabric of the Bioceanic Corridor – Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Chile – understood as an epistemological locus for the refounding of silenced Latinities. Returning to Enrique D. Dussel's fortitudo critica and Edgar Cézar Nolasco's seminal proposition in Decolonial Comparative Literature (2025), it is argued that Latin American (in)difference, engendered by the Eurocentric status quo, has hindered the emergence of its own dialogues, erasing convergences that should already have been established. In this borderline radius, decolonial criticism establishes itself as the driving force behind the unveiling of (un)covered routes, straining the erasures inherited from modernity and instituting other forms of intellectual conviviality. The Bioceanic Route, more than a geopolitical corridor, should be a metaphor for the circulation of knowledge, affections, and critiques that challenges canonical tradition and establishes the possibility of a South American critical fortune. This work is anchored in this disruptive vision, whose scope broadens the debate on philosophizing-being beyond Western dialectics, opening paths of thought capable of reconstituting the Latinities of dormant landscapes and enhancing the epistemic locus of Latin America as a space that radiates knowledge and intellectualities effective in the Southern Cone as a comparative scientific inquiry.
