“…Along this line, Kymlicka engages with Rawls' (1999) liberal theory of justice, which is nonetheless based on the same structural shortcomings, since it elaborates a way for individuals with different cultural backgrounds to agree on principles that apply to everybody within the state. This scheme relegates the value of the local community to an individual matter and confirms the hegemony of western culture at the world level, thus falling short of a model of 'interculturalism' that presumes itself as universal (Pantham 2015;Aman 2015).…”

Populism is receiving increasing attention and the intrinsic dependency of populism from liberal democracy is being scrutinised to find forms able to contain the populist rise, so far with limited success. Little consideration has been given to the implications that populism is a modern political category that could not emerge without liberal democratic regimes. This article analyses the entanglement between postcolonialism, democratic theory and populism in order to fill this research gap. It focuses on the notion of demagogic populism as a threat to democratic regimes that liberal theories are incapable of contrasting. It analyses in some detail the intercultural democratic discourse (IDD) of M. K. Gandhi, in order to understand to what extent it undermines the populist upsurge and contributes to structuring a substantive and intercultural alternative democratisation theory, with respect to liberal democracy. To cope with the extent of Gandhi's thought, after addressing some limits of liberal multiculturalism, the article focuses on four Gandhian categories: 'civilisation', 'duty', 'non-possession individualism' and 'spirituality'. As Gandhi engaged in the anti-colonial struggle and critical strategic dialogues in intra-civilisational contexts (tradition, religion, caste, modes of production, etc.), he advances a solid IDD, elaborating a groundbreaking vocabulary that includes ashram, satyagraha, swaraj and swadeshi.

“…Geographically, as Aman (2015) points out, the term interculturality stems from the shifting demographics in Europe, where it has become a dominating element in current research and debate, and has been described as 'a linguistic characteristic of union' (p.1). However, in intercultural research within Latin America, in addition to being the translation of an English term, it has come to represent the Indigenous peoples' endeavor towards decolonization and it is more widely represented in current literature by its Spanish translation (Aman, 2015(Aman, , 2017. Further to this, Gutierrez-Pezo (2020) points to the fact that when it comes to interculturality in Latin America we need not only to acknowledge diversity but also the colonial and racial structures that have historically subordinated indigenous people and those with African ancestry.…”

Basándose en una gama de fuentes geográficamente diversas, este ensayo tiene como objetivo, en primer lugar, proporcionar una descripción contextualizada de qué es la colonización lingüística y cómo ha dado forma a las relaciones de poder en las áreas que fueron sometidas a ella. Luego explorará cómo el eurocentrismo ha impactado el lenguaje y las formas de conocimiento indígenas, proporcionará diferentes perspectivas desde una mirada intercultural y, finalmente, detallará los esfuerzos que se están realizando en diferentes rincones del mundo para restaurar los idiomas y los conocimientos indígenas dentro de comunidades específicas. A partir de estos esfuerzos, este artículo termina analizando sus posibles implicaciones tanto en la teoría como en la práctica en contextos educativos, focalizándose particularmente en Chile.
