本文讨论了拉丁美洲组织研究的现状，揭示了该地区普遍存在的认知殖民性。本文采用的方法基于对地缘政治空间作为表达场所的相关性的认识，维持了“外部”和“他者”的相关性，以理解拉丁美洲的组织现实。论证分为三个部分。第一部分确立了拉丁美洲组织研究发展的主要特征，即其对中心产生的知识的伪造和模仿的倾向。第二部分承认“组织”一词作为一种技巧所发挥的作用，通过其结构变量促进不同现实的比较，但也承认该术语无法识别任何逃避工具理性和市场逻辑的现实。它还阐明了这一概念在新自由主义背景下日益重要的意义。第三部分最后提出了一个基于承认差异性的原始方法的初步研究议程，重申了从外部认识拉丁美洲组织问题的紧迫性。
This paper discusses the current state of Organization Studies in Latin America, disclosing the epistemic coloniality that prevails in the region. Adopting an approach based on the recognition of the relevance of the geopolitical space as place of enunciation, the paper sustains the relevance of the ‘outside’ and ‘otherness’ to understand organizational realities in America Latina. The argument is developed in three sections. The first section establishes the main characteristic of the development of Organization Studies in Latin America as its tendency towards falsification and imitation of the knowledge generated in the Centre. The second section recognizes the role played by the term ‘organization’ as an artifice that facilitates the comparison of different realities through their structural variables, but also the inability of this term to recognize any reality that escapes instrumental rationality and the logic of the market. It also articulates the increasing importance of such a concept in the context of neo-liberalism. The third section concludes by renewing the urgency of appreciating the organizational problems of Latin America from the outside by proposing a preliminary research agenda built from original approaches that recognize otherness.
