Prologue

Abstract

The Science and Interculturality Magazine of the University of the Autonomous Regions of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast (URACCAN), makes available to our readers the first harvest of unpublished research articles, authorship of 20 graduates and graduates of the International Master's Degree in Intercultural Communication with Gender Approach, an initiative of the Network of Indigenous Intercultural and Community Universities of Abya Yala (RUIICAY), strongly supported by NORAD, the University College of Oslo Norway, the Autonomous Intercultural Indigenous University of Cauca (UAIIN), the Pluriversidad Amawtay Wasi of Ecuador and this study house. The articles gather relevant aspects of the master's thesis, discussed and critically analyzed from each of these countries. They respond in essence to a new epistemic paradigm called Cultivation and Raising of Wisdoms and Knowledge (CCRISAC), a methodological tool to collect and explain different communicational processes that occur in indigenous communities and peoples and that redirects the so-called scientific methods with the that we had learned to undertake research processes. The richness of this important Harvest lies in the motivation and commitment with which communication professionals in the region have recreated the processes that people live in Nicaragua, with intercultural communication, Own Communication in Colombia and Intercultural Community Communication in Ecuador. , three brother countries that together have been walking the word and traveling through sacred scenarios where knowledge, knowledge and doings are articulated in Abya Yala. Due to the nature of the articles and the joy that comes from sowing and harvesting from our own models of communication, this Volume No. 23 presents a compilation structured in a single section: Gender and Interculturality, dedicated especially to Intercultural Communication. The results of these studies contribute significantly to the innovative practice of the university community and constitute an educational and communication means to share with the community of professors, researchers and students of the academic world, a critical expression of autonomy and emancipation in an environment of intercultural gender citizenships.
