Lecture by Nelson Vallejo-Gómez

The poison of post-truth

Wednesday 6 November 2024, 4.30pm –  Auditorio del Centro Cultural Santo Domingo

The cultural melting pot of traditional and modern knowledge, with all its experimentation, innovation and emergence, which we call “culture and education”, is experiencing a major paradigmatic mutation: the Internet. From this algorithmic network an old bias is arising once again as a planet-wide cognitive challenge: the “hydra of post-truth”. Nelson Vallejo-Gómez is a French-Colombian philosopher who specialises in the paradigm of complexity based on the magnum opus by Edgar Morin, Method. He has been Secretary General of the Association for Complex Thought (APC-France) and of the Scientific Council for National Education (CSEN-France). He is also the Chair of the Council of Honour in Social Science and the Humanities of the University of Caldas (Manizales, Colombia), Scientific Director of PREFALC-FMSH and Inspector General of Education and Research in France.

We are migrants: testimonies from literature and art

Sunday 10 November 2024, 4pm –  Colegio de Abogados (auditorio)

Based on the work of the three guests, who will talk to Natalia Sobrevilla Perea, this event will look at how culture facilitates the understanding of complex phenomena such as migration, paying particular attention to the situation of women migrants. It will also look at how culture contributes significantly to integration, as a key vehicle for social cohesion and mutual understanding among diverse communities in the city of Arequipa. The knowledge and experiences shared by these authors will enable a profound reflection on these matters, underlining the crucial role of culture in the construction of inclusive and resilient communities. With Cecile Blouin (France), Lucero Condori (Peru) and Diana Moncada (Venezuela).
