Open class “Cosmopraxis: relational methods for a pluriversal IR”

On Friday, August 16, the Institute of International Relations and the Global South Unit for Mediation (GSUM) will hold an open class with Amaya Querejazu, from the Universidad de Antioquia.

In this open class, Querejazu will discuss how cosmopraxis – as a complex pluriversal and multidimensional set of experiences – not only illustrates how relationships take place without fixing meanings, but will also offer relevant insights to contribute to thinking about a pluriversal and more plural IR.

Bringing ontological questions back into IR has made it possible to open up discussions about plurality and difference in terms of the coexistence of plural worlds and realities, for example, through notions such as relationality and pluriversality. However, when trying to develop relational approaches as an alternative to the ‘western/modern’ – atomistic – ontology, relationality, relations and their meanings can become fixed, translating them into ‘things’.
