Los artculos que presenta nuestro Journal

en esta ocasin son aparentemente dispares en
su temtica, sin embargo, existe una lnea que
los atraviesa a todos, esta es la preocupacin
de nuestros jvenes autores por elaborar y
presentar una perspectiva crtica alternativa
respecto de los problemas tratados.
El primero sobre la experiencia de reconciliacin del caso de Ruanda presentado
por el lingista ruands Hli Habyarimana, el
segundo del profesor Stephen Launay analiza
mediante conceptos heterodoxos la guerra interna colombiana, el tercero desarrolla el
concepto de seguridad humana del profesor
Bishnu Pathak; el cuarto reivindica la relacin que ha querido dejarse de lado entre pobreza y conflicto aplicado al caso de Colombia del economista Carlos Lecaros; el quinto
presenta la idea de un ethos global del cuidado mediante la cual se reivindica el pensamiento ancestral del economista Efrn Ariza,
el sexto artculo es uno de los primeros trabajos del joven socilogo Vctor Agudelo quien
busca re interpretar la ciencia sociolgica a la
luz de algunos desarrollos de la fsica y por
ltimo la resea de Luis Martnez sobre el libro Sortir de la Grande Nuit del pensador cameruns Mbembe, que nos resume una visin
del pensamiento crtico africano inserta en los

estudios subalternos anticoloniales. Todos ellos son temas atravesados por la crtica a las
interpretaciones ortodoxas, eurocntricas y
son dimensiones distintas de la crtica a la
perspectiva dominante en las ciencias sociales.
Tres de estos artculos estn referidos al
problema de los conflictos internos; los artculos sobre seguridad humana y ethos global
entran en el terreno de la filosofa cuyo contenido humanstico apoya la idea de nuevos caminos hacia la paz. Son todos temas de gran
actualidad sobre lo cual existe poco debate y
representan la inconformidad con la realidad
tal como se presenta, con las explicaciones
ortodoxas y objetivistas y entran en la bsqueda de explicaciones que sobrepasan las tradicionales existentes en las ciencias sociales.
Esperamos que los lectores aprecien las
diferencias con las viejas posturas ortodoxas
que hacen de estos trabajos una muestra de
nuevas elaboraciones en las ciencias sociales
y humanas.

this work an example of new elaborations in

social and human sciences.

Editorial
The articles presented by our Journal on
this occasion are apparently different in their
subject, however, there is a line that runs
through them all, this is the concern of our
young authors to develop and present an alternative critical perspective on the issues discussed.
The first one on the experience of Rwanda
reconciliation presented by the Rwandan linguist Heli Habyarimana; the second one presented by Professor Stephen Launay who analyzed trough heterodox concepts the Colombia's
internal war; the third one elaborated by
teacher Bishnu Pathak, develops the concept of
human security; the fourth one applied to the
case of Colombia by the economist Carlos Lecaros, claimed the relationship wanted left out
between poverty and conflict; the fifth one by
the economist Efren Ariza presents the idea of a
global ethos of care by which the ancestral
thought is claimed; the sixth article is one of the
first works of the young sociologist Victor
Agudelo who seeks re-interpret the Giddens
theory in the light of some developments in
physics science, and finally the review presented by Luis Martinez of the book Sortir de
la grand nuit by the Cameroonian thinker
Mbembe, which sums up a vision of African
critical thinking embedded in anti-colonial subaltern studies. All of these articles are crossed
by critical postures to the orthodox and euro
centric interpretations and are different dimensions of criticism to the dominant perspective in
the social sciences.
Three of them are referred to the problem of
internal armed conflicts. The articles on human
security and global ethos enter into the realm of
philosophy whose humanistic content supports
the idea of new paths to reach peace. All of
them are current topics issues on which there is
little debate and represent dissatisfaction with
reality as it is presented by the orthodox and
objectivist explanations and enter into the
search for interpretations that go beyond existing traditional social science.
We hope readers appreciate the differences
compare to the old orthodox postures that make
