# A workshop and meeting of researchers from Latin America and Germany
The workshop by Pablo de Marinis is conceived as a space for encounter and intensive debate between social science researchers from different backgrounds.
All participating researchers are somehow linked to Latin America, because they live and work there, and/or they make that region a privileged area in their respective research projects. In addition, they share research interests about the diverse processes through which social and sociological knowledge is produced, circulated, appropriated and re-signified. Based on some issues that each invited researcher is working on, different topics will be addressed throughout individual presentations:
- Changes in the anatomy of capitalism, from the “old” to the “new” neoliberalism.
- Current challenges facing liberal democracy, and reflections on whether it can (and should) fully cover our emancipatory horizon.
- Production and circulation of knowledge (social and sociological); dependencies, visibilizations/ invisibilizations of certain types of knowledge in relation to others, etc.
- Alternative views to Eurocentrism or to the unilateralism of North Atlantic perspectives; towards a decentering of the social sciences.
- Tasks, challenges and reformulations of a critical theory of society.
- Questioning and challenging the limitations of the very institutions in which we work (universities, research centers, academic networks, national, regional or international professional organizations).
The workshop takes places on 9 May at HIAS (Mittelweg 161), from 11-13:30 and 14:30-18h. It will be held in Spanish.
