Ecologies of knowledge: The folds of cosmologies, transculturation and transmodernity

Translation and transculturation are key to understanding diversity and intercultural relations, addressing how information and cultures interact and transform. The concept of transculturation, developed by Fernando Ortiz, offers an alternative to the concept of acculturation, reflecting the complexity of cultural exchanges in the Americas. The Baobab, as a symbol, illustrates the depth of these cultural processes and their nuances, showing how African traditions and knowledge intertwine with other cultures.
