Contributions of Anibal Quijano and Enrique Dussel for an Anti-Management Perspective in Defence of Life/Contribuciones de Anibal Quijano y Enrique Dussel para una perspectiva anti-gestion en defensa de la vida/Contribuicoes de Anibal Quijano e Enrique Dussel para uma Perspectiva Anti-Management em Defesa da Vida

In this essay, I argue for the need of a critical dialogue with the field of Postcolonial Studies considering, among other features, its tendency to neglect the study of contemporary forms of political domination and economic exploitation. A tendency that is even more present in the field of Organization Studies, which has been increasingly colonized by management. This text is located within the field of Latin American studies, adopting Dussel's Philosophy of Liberation and its ethical fundament as references. I also argue for the adoption of an anti-management attitude because the distinction between Northern/Southern management is irrelevant for the victims, for those suffering material impoverishment, forced to premature death, lack of dignity and a host of injustices.
