Benjamin, Debord, history and historiographies from the global south

Abstract

We propose a discussion centered on three aspects. In the first, to pose Walter Benjamin's concept of history, the emergence of time, history against the grain, the critique of progress and the past that is always open. In the second, on this new phase of capitalism that Debord establishes as the Spectacle, and its daily implications regarding the experience of time. In a third section, we will deal with historiographical possibilities in our context complementing their visions with the contributions from the Latin American decoloniality, the ecology of knowledge and subaltern studies, establishing what should be the aspects of the new historiographies thought from the global south.
