RODRIGUEZ MARTINEZ, Yassir Jesús. «Neither Poor, Nor Rich, We Just Live Well». The Logic of Development and buen vivir in Ek Balam, Yucatan. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.23, pp.22-45. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2017.23.286.

This article aims to present a criticism to development based on a piece of research carried out in Ek Balam, Yucatan State. It first addresses how the logic of development devalues local subjects through a series of representations of the Other. It subsequently approaches the local notions of buen vivir that make it possible to think about alternatives to development. As a whole, this article posits the need to see beyond development and recover local voices in order to enable the construction of intercultural dialoguing.

Palabras llave : discourse; peasant; dialogue; the Other.
