TL;DR: De-colonial cosmopolitanism as discussed by the authors is a cosmo-polis of multiple trajectories aiming at a trans-modern world based on pluriversality rather than on a new and good universal for all.
Abstract: What are the differences between cosmopolitanism and globalization? Are they “natural” historical processes or are they designed for specific purposes? Was Kant cosmopolitanism good for the entire population of the globe or did it respond to a particular Eurocentered view of what a cosmo-polis should be? The article argues that, while the term “globalization” in the most common usage refers and correspond to neo-liberal globalization projects and ambitions (roughly from 1980 to 2008), and the Kantian concept of “cosmopolitanism” responded to the second wave (XVIII and XIX of European global expansion), “de-colonial cosmopolitanism” refers to global processes and conceptualizations delinking from both neo-liberal globalization and liberal cosmopolitan ideals. But it delinks also from theological and Marxist visions of a homogenous world center around religious ideals or state socialist regulations. De-colonial cosmopolitanism is a cosmopolitanism of multiple trajectories aiming at a trans-modern world based on pluriversality rather than on a new and good universal for all.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of localizacoes epistemologicas for subaltemizacao of conhecimentos are presented. But these localizacións do not support the process of sub-altemization.
Abstract: Formulacoes epistemologicas devem ser relacionadas aos espacos geograficos em que estao localizadas. Estas localizacoes epistemologicas ajudam a compreender os processos de subaltemizacao de conhecimentos. O ponto de intersecao entre historias locais e desenhos globais da lugar a epistemologias fronteiricas como conhecimento critico local. Deveria ser restituido aos agentes locais o espaco para a producao de conhecimento suprimida pelos mecanismos coloniais e imperiais de subaltemizacao.
