Abstract

DEVES-VALDES, Eduardo. Impact of Indian Thought in Latin America: Some Readings of Gandhi’s Work: Circulation and Eidetic Re-elaborations. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.1, pp.29-43. ISSN 1851-9490.

The intention of this work is to show and analyze some of the readings that have been done about Mohandas Gandhi’s work in Latin America in the last decades, by means of a writing that swings between an empirical research and the study of a case that allows to present two theoretical problems. For this there are approached authors and authoresses of diverse countries of the region, who allow to allude to two theoretical problems that are formulated in this work: the flow of the ideas between South-South regions, the reformulation of the ideas in the receiving region. These issues are key to the development of the eidéticos studies as a discipline. An introduction is made regarding the reception of the ideas of Gandhi in the region by 1930, studying the joints of his thought and of those of other authors and trends of thought, pointing out some receptions and later crosses. Then the work focuses in experts of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico and Venezuela, trying to present several different cases covering numerous countries of the region, pointing at a valid sampling, though without sufficient methodological affirmation.

Keywords : Latin-American thought; Eidéticos Studies; Eidéticos Crossings; Flowing of the Ideas; Pacific Resistance; Gandhi; Indian-Latin American Relations.
