Abstract

This article addresses the idea of crisis in Latin American, as an expression of the collapse, of a certain epistemological and political approach that undoubtedly generates new readings of reality and the construction of alternative projects, a transformation process such as the one described. registered during the "long sixties" product of the exhaustion of the developmentalist paradigm that gave rise to its replacement by the dependency approach, which became the hegemonic perspective within Latin American social sciences in addressing the problems present in the continent. In this sense, the idea of crisis has served as a catalyst in the configuration of such models, given the urgent need to have theoretical tools to address them, in a permanent dialectical relationship with reality, helping to develop new transformation projects. In this sense, this article intends to analyze the process of theoretical radicalization experienced by dependency intellectuals during the indicated time period as a response to the critical situation experienced in Latin America and in direct relation to the contradictions present in the region. The foregoing, within the framework of the consolidation of an anti-imperialist political culture, which was based on the clear positioning assumed by the intellectual field.
