Vincularidad is the awareness of the integral relation and interdependence amongst all living organisms (in which humans are only a part) with territory or land and the cosmos. It is a relation and interdependence in search of balance and harmony of life in the planet. As such, and as we propose in this book and series, vincularidad/relationality unsettles the singular authoritativeness and universal character typically assumed and portrayed in academic though. Relationality/vincularidad seeks connections and correlations.

Our proposal is for creating and illuminating pluriversal and interversal paths that disturb the totality from which the universal and the global are most often perceived.

The proposition here and in this series is to advance the undoing of Eurocentrism's totalizing claim and frame, including the Eurocentric legacies incarnated in U.S.-centrism and perpetuated in the Western geopolitics of knowledge.

Today right-wing nationalisms build on the darker side of neoliberal globalism, and so galled progressive states advance a twenty-first-century capitalism grounded in a politics and economy of extractivism that advances the destruction of lands-beings-knowledges
