This paper aims to draw attention about some theoretical and historical-philosophical considerations to keep in mind when we undertake to explain the ways that historically have been the relations between Europe and Latin America in cultural terms. Therefore, proposed a critical and reflective view on our historical research held on the following considerations: a) the fact that our nations are the result of a long process of conquest and colonization; b) that process was scheduled and executed on terms of capitalist production and under the idea of cultural "modernity"; c) that always have existed many "discourses of emancipation" opposing those conditions, that allow us to think the possibility of a distinctive culture and the possibility of building a project of civilization itself.

Palabras llave : Europe; Latin America; domination; culture; emancipation.
