Some-where over the rainbow by Lucia Saks

“…Apartheid may well be considered as the last 10- geocentric colonial structure (unless, that is, one wishes to included Bosnia under this unpleasant rubric) to finally collapse.1 Further its collapse may be considered the end of a state apparatus formed as an institutionalization of logocentric thinking (something unusual for Derrida who very rarely talks in terms of practices). …”

“…En la Bogotá de 1939 el antiguo convento de Santo Domingo, erigido en el siglo XVI y ocupado a partir del siglo XIX por la oficina de Correos y Telégrafos y otras dependencias oficiales, era uno de los últimos representantes en pie de la que había sido una verdadera “infraestructura de lo religioso” de la ciudad colonial. Este texto se centra en corroborar si en efecto el antiguo convento era un elemento representativo de una época, de una sociedad y de una tipología arquitectónica, condiciones que bien hubieran podido haberle garantizado su permanencia en calidad de monumento histórico y no como paradójicamente ocurrió, que antes bien, todas estas condiciones lo que contribuyeron fue a propugnar por su demolición.…”
