INCLUSIVENESS IN QUESTION:

REFLECTIONS AROUND THE EXCLUSION- INCLUSION BINOMINAL

Abstract

The article attempts to discuss the implications and scope of the binomial exclusion-inclusion not only from a historical perspective but also from the meanings that these conceptualizations acquired for subjects of covered by the exclusion. Thus the aim of the article is to expose a concern centered on addressing economic exclusión as synonymous of poverty or social discrimination focused on minimizing the ethical, political, psychological and human dimensions. Another focus of interest are covert claims contained in projects “assimilationist” or “integrative” of subjects or excluded groups that in the article is referred as “perverse inclusion”. Inclusion that far from constituting relations of equity and equality based on reciprocity and solidarity, ends devoting a hierarchy of values, notions and representations of reality, why it concludes that think critically exclusion requires revealing the mechanisms of production of social inequality, but also dive into the controversies and complexities of the actual world, demonstrating the multidimensional nature and ideological maneuvers of the phenomenon.
