En este artículo se realiza una deconstrucción del buen vivir latinoamericano, como
concepto alternativo al desarrollo, desde una
perspectiva posracionalista, con el propósito
de identificar los diversos significados que
ha ido adquiriendo desde su emergencia a
comienzos de la década de 1990 hasta la segunda mitad de la década de 2010. Y hemos
podido concluir que existen cinco acepciones
diferentes del buen vivir: el buen vivir antropológico primigenio, como sumak kawsay; los
tres buenos vivires políticos en los que trifurca
el concepto a partir de 2007, como buen vivir
indigenista y pachamamista, buen vivir socialista y estatista, y buen vivir ecologista y posdesarrollista; y el buen vivir sintético surgido
en el ámbito académico
In this article we make a deconstruction of
Latin American good living, as an alternative
concept to development, by a post-rationalist,
perspective with the purpose of identifying
the different meanings it has acquired since
its emergence in the early 1990s until the second half of the decade of 2010. And we have
been able to conclude that there are five different meanings of good living: the primitive
anthropological good living, as sumak kawsay;
the three political good lives in which fork the
concept from 2007, as an “indigenist” and
“pachamamist” good living, as a socialist and
statist good living, and as an “ecologist” and
“postdevelopmentalist” good living; and the
good living synthesized and emerged in the
academic field
