Both anthropology and ethics must respond to the challenge of social deconstruction and construction. Social systems are configured through the dimensions of culture, politics, and economics. But it is essential to analyze contemporary rationalities that propose to respond to the challenges of the 21st century. This is especially true in the reinterpretation of a revealed and exposed otherness that calls for an anthropology and ethics of giving as a response to human vulnerability and the challenge of building citizenships of the face.
Three analytical characteristics should guide this investigative aim of the course:
- The relationship between anthropology, culture, and human transcendence: (Diversity, difference, and inclusion). It is within the dynamic of relationships proposed today by the culture known as interculturality that the processes of inclusion, dialogue, and recognition of the integrity of the life of each social subject are energized.
- The phenomena of social vulnerability, as an integrative analysis of social conflict and its ethical-political challenges. (Social vulnerability, social conflict (history and phenomenon). To reflect on human vulnerabilities as a human event to provoke the reconstruction of humanity as a dynamic and constant task, since the challenge is that we are all responsible for everything, and that generates ingenuity from the flesh.
- The city, citizenship, and social coexistence as factors of inclusion, acceptance, and diversity. (Citizenship, public policies, memory, conflict, and culture). The political tool for understanding social life is citizenship, and in this reflection, we are confronted with certain silences that have instrumentalized the discourse and civic attitude of the social individual.
Promoting a methodology based on multidimensional, interdisciplinary, and integrative construction. Epistemology must abandon its static nature to become dynamic, posing the challenge of not merely conceptualizing reality, but rather systematizing problems and their multidimensional contexts, and proposing holistic and comprehensive solutions with imagination and meaningful knowledge.
