Reflexiones sobre la trayectoria y actualidad de la obra de Orlando Fals Borda.Elementos para la transformación de practicas

Abstract

Through an exercise of historical memory, a study of the written work of Orlando Fals Borda is made, taking for it the documents that have circulated the most. From there he builds the academic framework of his career in the local and international field highlighting objects, groups, temporalities and spatialities that give transcendence to his texts and place him among the most important Latin American thinkers of the twentieth century. Methodologically, 9304 citations and references to their work are included in the analysis, which allows knowing the countries, publishers, institutions and people that have used their proposals in the world and the reasons why it is said that the practice should be reflected on the appropriation of his legacy in social transformation. Next, the analyzes carried out by decades are presented, where the works made in a certain time are compared with the historical moment that was lived, which leads to a greater understanding of the why, relevance and validity of the text.
