AGUIRRE AGUIRRE, Carlos. (Im)productive disarticulation: Walter Mignolo and critical Theory. Cuyo-anu. filos. argent. am. [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.2, pp.161-195.  Epub 04-Jun-2023. ISSN 1853-3175.

The article analyzes the different modulations and inflections of Max Horkheimer's Critical Theory in the works of Walter Mignolo. The reflection focuses on the various moments, mutations and re-readings of the concept of "criticism" within the categories and problems that worry the argentine semiotician: postoccidentalism, postcolonial theory and decolonial Turn. For this, it stops at the reception of the philosophy of Enrique Dussel and the analysis of the "myth" of modernity within the work of Mignolo, proposing that his reading of Critical Theory is based on the formulations of dusselian analectics (in distance and proximity). The multiple areas of the semiotician's work suggest a series of metamorphoses in which the assessment of Critical Theory is linked to the epistemological shifts suffered by his analyzes of postcolonial theory, border thinking, modernity/coloniality and the decolonial Turn.

Palabras clave : criticism; critical Theory; postoccidentalism; postcolonial theory; modernity.
