Abstract
En los últimos años el pensamiento decolonial se ha constituido en un campo de reflexión teórica y de activismo político que busca, por un lado, visibilizar las formas en las que se sigue reproduciendo el poder colonial y, por otro lado, proveer herramientas para contribuir a fisurar las condiciones de dominación heredadas del hecho colonial. Este artículo tiene por objetivo situar las categorías de raza y género en el marco del pensamiento decolonial, como categorías fundamentales para problematizar y analizar la operacionalidad la dimensión ontológica de la colonialidad. En este sentido, recurre a autores y autoras de la tradición de pensamiento crítico afrocaribeño, así como del feminismo decolonial. Para esto, se discute con la categoría de diferencia ontológica colonial, como un aporte para continuar exteriorizando la naturaleza del orden colonial de poder y para ahondar en la comprensión en la forma cómo la colonialidad opera.
In recent years, decolonial thinking has become a field of theoreti-cal reflection and political activism that seeks, on the one hand, to make visible the ways in which the colonial power continues to be reproduced, and, on the other hand, to provide tools to contribute to fissure the conditions of domination inherited from the colonial fact. This article aims to place the categories of race and gender, in the framework of decolonial thought, as fundamental ca-tegories to problematize and analyze the ontological dimension of coloniality. In this regard, it draws on authors from the Afro-Caribbean critical thinking tradition, as well as from decolonial feminism. For this, a dialogue with the category of colonial ontological difference is created, as a contribution to continue externalizing the nature of the colonial order of power and to deepen the understanding of how coloniality operates.
