Critical Epistemologies, Transdisciplinary Praxis, Dialogue of Knowledges

This book attempts to reflect on critical epistemologies, transdisciplinary praxis and intercultural and inter-scientific dialogue of knowledge and experiences as central and necessary processes in the construction of cognitive justice and health justice in territorialized communities. Cognitive justice refers to situations of inequality, discrimination or epistemic and social exclusion produced by a global hegemonic cognitive model that limits, invisibilizes and deprives different forms of knowledge of recognition and validity, while health justice refers to situations in which citizens, through collective action and mobilization, seek recognition of their inalienable health rights and public responses to these demands.This supposes, from the academic point of view, to understand, share and respect the concepts, logics, visions, perceptions and values where social practice is developed, in order to promote strategies and joint actions that allow the generation of new knowledge, feelings and experiences from the field of Collective Health.
