The training that this Ph.D. grant may help solving the difficulties that result from different conceptions of societies on issues as diverse as identity, social organization, economy, political participation, justice, health, and history. These difficulties were traditionally faced by the State through the denial of cultural diversity, especially with the implementation process of homogenization sheltered under the idea of the constitution of a national project. However, the struggles of subordinate groups for recognition of their specialties and the expansion of the political spectrum led to the recognition (often constitutional, as in Colombia) of the cultural diversity.

This doctorate is not intended to reproduce uncritically the metropolitan knowledge nor create a kind of “national” discipline, in other words, it will not try to invent anthropology nor reproduce the academic traditions vernacular or dominant in the establishment, that is, the academic tradition discipline/sub-discipline and craft training (which instructs one to know but does nor reflect on it) and positive (a rationalist formation based on exteriority).

This Ph.D. is expected to be consistent with the operation of social practices in academic contexts:---Exclusion
- Conflict between societies
- Social problems arising from the clash between cultural hegemonies and cultural subalternities and insertion world order. So, it pretends to a focus of enunciation from the clash of cultural practices in global and local contexts of subordination, looking beyond local disciplinary traditions. The lift of the Ph.D., then, lies not only in specific and circumstantial contexts, as the Colombian, but in the consciousness of a condition of subordination stressed by the new colonial geopolitics.
