Documentary abstract — original language

This critical essay proposes a reflection on the relationships between science, social communication and education based on a dialogue between contributions from Latin American, indigenous and northern global thinkers, in a context marked by environmental crisis, epistemic plurality and the emptying of meaning in contemporary societies. We discuss the limits of Western epistemology based on neutrality, technical-instrumental rationality, and the fragmentation of knowledge. In this scenario, we return to the notion of dialogue and affection as an ethical, political, and epistemological gesture that aims to shift educational and communicative practices from the paradigm of transmission to that of relationship, opening channels for listening to and recognising historically marginalised knowledge. Based on the idea of confluence, we argue that intercultural dialogue is not based on the assimilation or fusion of knowledge, but on the possibility of coexisting with difference without reducing it. We also articulate this perspective with contemporary discussions about the crisis of meaning in education and social communication, especially in addressing the climate emergency, highlighting the need to integrate cognitive, affective, and ethical dimensions in the formation of subjects capable of imagining and building possible futures. We conclude by arguing that schools and the media can be (re)imagined as territories of intercultural enunciation, committed to epistemic plurality, socio-environmental justice, and the rehumanisation of knowledge.
