    Principles of information literacy for social minorities: a decolonial approach
    (Servicio de Publicaciones, Universidad de Murcia, 2025) Goulart Righetto, Guilherme; Vieira Vitorino, Elizete; Sin departamento asociado
    Aiming to deepen the debate and raise awareness about information literacy, this article presents the central findings of a qualitative exploratory study. The research is positioned through the lens of decolonial and intercultural thought, questioning current elitist and technicist approaches. The main contribution is the proposal of information literacy principles adapted for individuals and groups in situations of social vulnerability. This conceptual framework—which articulates decolonial thinking with the four dimensions (technical, aesthetic, ethical, and political) of Vitorino and Piantola (2020)—seeks not only to overcome the limitations of hegemonic perspectives but also to provide a fundamental basis for the development of actions, projects, and programs directed at minority and marginalized social groups

    Re-existencias travestis: Una contrahistoria desde la diferencia visual en Perú
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2017) Romero Caballero, Belén
    El vínculo entre naturaleza y deshumanización es un discurso moderno colonial de género que mantiene su vigencia mediante la basurización simbólica y concreta de quienes son vistos como inferiores, antinaturales y hasta como animales, convertidos en un desecho de la sociedad. Una forma de visualizar al otro como elemento sobrante del sistema simbólico. En este sentido, maniobrar en el campo de la visualidad travesti, sus convenciones y estereotipos, se convierte en una práctica de resistencia en tanto que se enfrenta al régimen escópico eurocéntrico disciplinante, astutamente camuflado. Pero, igualmente, de re-existencia, al proponer la co-presencia visual de la diferencia, y por ende, la emergencia de otras identidades, formas de visibilidad, de visualización y de vida. Mediante una aproximación que se centra en el aspecto sensible de determinadas prácticas culturales en el ámbito geo-corpo-político peruano, como son Salón de Belleza, de Mario Bellatin, y Museo Travesti del Perú, de Giuseppe Campuzano, trataremos de mostrar su papel mediador en las sociedades contemporáneas, pero, también, lo que se puede hacer con ellas para inventar una reescritura de las narrativas.

    Rosana Paulino y Adriana Varejão: una crítica visual a la colonialidad del poder
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Bugnone, Ana Liza; Capasso, Verónica
    This paper compares and analyzes a corpus of works by Brazilian artists Rosana Paulino and Adriana Varejão, which deal with the violence inflicted upon nature and the body. From a decolonial perspective, it is believed that the selected works criticize racism and nature’s destruction as consequences of the European Conquest. These artists use meaningful aspects of Portuguese culture, such as tiles, to show, together with slave ships, body parts and images of nature, the degree of violence that resulted from such process. It is claimed that Paulino and Varejão criticize the colonialism of power by showing the “colonial wound” and its effects. They show the erasure of identities, the creation of stereotypes and the use of bodies and nature as goods to propose a visual criticism over Brazil’s history and present. A qualitative and transdisciplinary approach with visual studies, history and decolonial studies as a basis will be used to describe, analyze and compare the images.
