Resumo: The article intends to explore the centrality of the recognition of the figure of the victim for understanding the legacies of colonial violence and the imagination of alternative narratives and futures. In this perspective, we seek in our text to understand, based on the contributions of Enrique Dussel, Aníbal Quijano and Boaventura de Sousa Santos, the importance of the process of recognition of victims, especially the colonial ones, in the production of a social theory engaged in overcoming policies of forgetfulness and valorization of experiences, knowledge and practices of historically silenced collectivities and subjects. Focusing on the criticisms that surround the Eurocentric and hegemonic version of Modernity (DUSSEL, 1993), the material and subjective heritages of the colonial arrangements (QUIJANO, 2005) and the possibilities of a transgressive sociology and its consequent Southern Epistemology (SOUSA SANTOS, 2010), the recognition of the victim’s figure and his experiences emerges in contemporary social theory as significant processes for the validation of silenced memories and the imagination of unthinking futures.

En esta perspectiva, buscamos en nuestro texto comprender, a partir de las contribuciones de Enrique Dussel, Aníbal Quijano y Boaventura de Sousa Santos, la importancia del proceso de reconocimiento de las víctimas, especialmente las coloniales, en la producción de una teoría social comprometida en la superación de políticas de olvido y la valorización de experiencias, saberes y prácticas de colectividades y sujetos históricamente silenciados. Apoyándose sobre las críticas que envuelven la versión eurocéntrica y hegemónica de la Modernidad (Dussel , 1993), las herencias materiales y subjetivas de los arreglos coloniales (Quijano, 2005) y las posibilidades de una sociología transgresiva y su consiguiente Epistemología del Sur (Sousa Santos, 2010), el reconocimiento de la figura de la víctima y sus experiencias emergen en la teoría social contemporánea como procesos significativos para la validación de memorias silenciadas y la imaginación de futuros impensados.O artigo pretende explorar a centralidade do reconhecimento da figura da vítima para a compreensão dos legados da violência colonial e a imaginação de narrativas e futuros alternativos.
