          Abstract

          En algunos ámbitos significativos -en los cuales se producen representaciones de la idea de "ciencia", se elaboran y aplican políticas de ciencia, o se realiza investigación científica y se imparte formación académica-nos encontramos con referencias explícitas o implícitas a la presunta existencia de dos clases de saber, uno de los cuales tendría validez "universal", mientras que el otro (diverso en su interior) no la tendría; tales alusiones son frecuentes y tienen efectos prácticos sobre nuestro trabajo académico. Reconocer esta situación demanda que, aunque autores tan significativos como Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault y Tomas Kuhn, entre otros, hayan criticado desde distintas perspectivas esas pretensiones universalistas, y aunque muchos de nosotros a partir de diferentes experiencias hayamos llegado a conclusiones convergentes al respecto, profundicemos los debates sobre el tema. El presente artículo responde a ese propósito y lo hace procurando integrar en la argumentación ideas y propuestas formuladas por algunos destacados intelectuales que se autoidentifican como indígenas. Adicionalmente, explora algunos retos, posibilidades y dificultades de la colaboración intercultural en la producción de conocimiento.

          Translated abstract

          There is no "universal" knowledge. Intercultural collaboration is essential. Within some significant circles, in which the representation of the idea of "science" is produced, scientific research is carried out, science policies are made and applied or academic education is taught, the implicit or explicit references to the alleged existence of two sorts of knowledge (one of which would have "universal" validity since the other would not) are quite frequent and do have practical effect over our academic work. The acknowledgment of this situation calls for a deep debate, although outstanding authors such as Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault and Tomas Kuhn, among others, have criticized from varied perspectives such Universalist statements and although many people have got to convergent conclusions from diverse kind of experiences. This article responds to such purpose by attempting to integrate the argumentation of ideas and proposals formulated by some outstanding intellectuals who self-identify as indigenous. Additionally, this article explores some of the challenges, possibilities and difficulties concerning the intercultural collaboration in the knowledge production.
