Por un sujeto para las epistemologías de la fragilidad

Abstract

The reflection we propose here is a critical exercise, meaning it is necessary to start with finding our own fragility, which can surely be found residing in other entities and subjectivities; dwelling in fragile relationships and strengthening practices and knowledge about nurturing that we consider to be breakable. If the only existence known to be worth living is that which materializes in a self-sufficient person, intact with respect to its body and mind, fragile existence becomes more prone to slander, instability and pathologization. Nonetheless, those are the forms created from close proximity to those experiences, whether in order to get to know them, name them or nurture them; those which give rise to an epistemology whose justification does not seek the legitimacy of scientific thought, but rather the emancipation of knowledge authorized by being collectively shared.
