| Sumario: | The study investigates how Eurocentrism encourages that decolonial criticism of socio-racial conflicts be reduced to the symbolic level. To achievethe objective, the investigation adopted interdisciplinarity as a method, using a bibliographic design for data collection. The results indicate that the genocides perpetrated throughout colonial-modernity constituted Europe and the Euro-Western centrality, allowing their symbolizations about reality not to be considered specific symbolic forms, but rather abstract and, therefore, universal integration of the real. The study concluded that although the criticism of Eurocentrism is capable of identifying the genocides / epistemicides that constitute it, that is, consider that the centrality of Western symbology lies in the strength and not in the sophistication of its representations about reality, it is necessary that the theory decolonial not only claims insurgent knowledge, but legitimizes the revolutionary use of the pattern of force that guaranteed the emergence and guarantees the reproduction of Eurocentrism. |
