TL;DR: Aymara space : urco and uma Therese Bouysse-Cassagne as mentioned in this paper, before the Inca conquest, the Aymara chiefdoms had organized Collao's space according to a twofold dualism oriented about a central axis (rio Azangaro-Titicaca, Desaguadero).
Abstract: Aymara space : urco and uma Therese Bouysse-Cassagne ; ; Before the Inca conquest, the Aymara chiefdoms had organized Collao's space according to a twofold dualism oriented about a central axis (rio Azangaro-Titicaca, Desaguadero). This diametrical pattern, which embraced various ethnic groups, reinterpreted the main geographical features (i.e puna/valleys) and was expressed through a series of opposite terms (high/low, man/woman, right/left, fearless/cowardly) testifying to Aymara supremacy This logic Unking spatial regulation to socio-economic relationships was also noticeable in some ritual ceremonies The Inca domination substituting concentric pattern for diametrical one disrupted the former Aymara system while at the same time taking advantage of some aspects of the old system in fact precisely those that the Conquistadors also found way to exploit

TL;DR: In this article, Dussel argued that modernity is not a strictly European but a planetary phenomenon, to which the excluded barbarians have contributed, although their contribution has not been acknowledged.
Abstract: In December  I had the good fortune to be one of the commentators in the workshop ‘‘Historical Capitalism, Coloniality of Power, and Transmodernity,’’ featuring presentations by Immanuel Wallerstein, Anibal Quijano, and Enrique Dussel. Speakers were asked to offer updates and to elaborate on the concepts attributed to them. Reflecting on ‘‘transmodernity,’’ Dussel made a remark that I take as a central point of my argument. According to Dussel, postmodern criticism of modernity is important and necessary, but it is not enough. The argument was developed by Dussel in his recent short but important dialogue with Gianni Vattimo’s work, which he characterized as a ‘‘eurocentric critique of modernity.’’1 What else can there be, beyond a Eurocentric critique of modernity and Eurocentrism? Dussel has responded to this question with the concept of transmodernity, by which he means that modernity is not a strictly European but a planetary phenomenon, to which the ‘‘excluded barbarians’’ have contributed, although their contribution has not been acknowledged. Dussel’s argument resembles, then, the South Asian Subaltern Studies project, although it has
