Coloniality of law : a historical-institutional pattern of power.

Abstract

Under a legal-critical methodological approach, with a theoretical frame- work of decolonial thinking, it presents itself as the coloniality of law is

responsible for the construction of institutions that reproduce systematic

and institutionalized oppression. When one thinks about what are the ma- terialities of the application of the law and who are those legal protectors,

one realizes the existence of an overvaluation of this historical pattern of power in which salaried work was chosen for Europeans in Latin America and subdelegating the processes of exploitation of land to indigenous and black women. Thus, everything that differs from this standardization of the universalist subject of law, in a way, to be notified in a different way in relation to the others. This subjection can be called and understood as

privileges that are received by the adequacy to the universal standard. Af- ter talking about the construction of this branch, we start a pluri-verse use

of law as a courter-hegemonic tool for the expansion of the epistemolog- ical subject.
