Description
Summary:In this work, it is retrospectively addressed the processes of invention and transformation of the western development story over three centuries. The idea is to show the relationship that has existed between the historical conjunctures and the relaunching of civilizing narratives; for this, three moments of understanding are identified: progress, biological order, and modernization. These moments allow us to observe which way, why, and under what context the development was configured and profiled as one of the greatest promises of modernity. It is argued that development has been a discourse of transhistoric power that has made Euro-American practices, experiences and traditions a universal cultural model, through which a hegemonic and essentialist vision of the West has been strengthened, while building a deficit and outsourced alterity.
