ABSTRACT

This chapter explores a dialogue of knowledges based on the category of communicative justice. It understands the dimension of pluriversal justice as a working alternative to the monoculture of technocratic, corporatised, and oppressive communication that responds to the logic established by capitalist, racist, patriarchal modernity. Communicative justice always seeks to build links and bridges to recognise, and dignify each other in our differences, whereas monocultures build barriers to communication. At the risk of oversimplifying and homogenising, communicative justice is a key dimension of pluriversal justice that aims at the decentring of and transitioning from exclusionary, vertical, oppressive monocultural communicative injustice to inclusive, horizontal, and democratic pluriversal communication. This occurs due to the protagonism of ordinary, exploited, and oppressed realities, especially, subaltern populations. Communicative justice resorts to a variety of mediated and nonmediated communication practices of and for life, love, and struggle for its planetarisation and that of other dimensions of the pluriverse.
