Repairing the Irreparable

Ana Cristina Pereira, Gessica Correia Borges & Marta Lança

Nº 13 | CECS | UMinho

ISSN:2184-1284

“In our increasingly fragmented world, contemplating reparation becomes evermore challenging. Wars that receive little attention in Western media have, in recent years, been overshadowed by others that dominate our focus. Globally, the blatant and violent manifestation of colonialism today renders concepts such as “coloniality” (of knowledge, being, or power) mere euphemisms for a reality that has always been colonial. Even decolonial theories, developed and nurtured within academia, appear synthetic and inadequate in the face of the end of the world as we know it.

Paradoxically, the ubiquity of projects, proposals, and events linked to the word“reparation” reached proportions unimaginable just a few years ago when we first considered contributing to this discussion within the Portuguese and Lusophonepublic space3. Unsurprisingly, a substantial portion of these initiatives are opportunistic or media-driven, operating within the same exploitative logic. However, it is impossible to overlook the discursive shift that has occurred in the Portuguese public and governmental spheres in just a few years”.
