A possible Latin American integration?

perspectives from law, culture and communication

Abstract

What do we mean when we talk about Latin American integration? This article will seek to understand the theoretical bases of Latin American integration from different disciplinary approaches, in order to understand, in the conceptual field, the different ways of identifying and interpreting the phenomenon of integration. Considering its historical, social and cultural perspective, our region and the interpretation of its phenomena require the commitment to go beyond the object analyzed, and to consider how the observer perceives it. Since the corpus of Latin American epistemologies, there are many possibilities that emerge in this sense. The sensitivity of observing Latin America from a local episteme is, therefore, the guideline of the exercise proposed here, which will seek to relate the areas of Law, Culture, and Communication so that, in their interfaces, they can show the idea of integration.It will be highlighted the way in which our legal system is constituted, the openness that constitutional texts have for an action towards integration and key concepts and references in the field of Latin American culture and communication that highlight the relevance of an action in these fields, in a combined way, in order to obtain a possible integration, based ona proper way of being and thinking, moreover appropriate, that responds to the needs of the region.
