Literature and Interculturality. A Proposal for Possible Readings Otherwise

Abstract

This article examines interculturality as a call to unlearn traditional Western colonial modes of thinking so as to relearn and embrace a kind of thinking otherwise which will enable readers of literature to confront their own colonial biases that inevitably lead to an arbitrary hierarchical canon of exclusion. To that end, the article focuses on reading Ecuadorian literature decolonially.
