Pluriversality as methodology

This reflection highlights three key political, ethical, and methodological contributions of pluriversality that demand attention. First, pluriversality as methodology or cosmopraxis is not just about imagining other worlds to contest dominant narratives; it is about enacting them as they already exist. Second, by asking questions otherwise, pluriversality dismantles the privilege of singularity – the belief that one world must exist at the expense of others. Third, pluriversality resists the ‘either–or’ logic of modernity’s universe. It opens space for relational coexistence, undermining the dominance of modernity and advancing on the ‘right to be’ of other worlds. To escape traditional frameworks that have been reductionist or excluding, this argument claims that imagination is a unique tool to emancipate ourselves from those restrains, because it also and at the same time, enacts other worlds. In other words, imagination both connects worlds and is their place of existence. Imagination contributes to the recognition of multiple realities and supports the acknowledgment of diversity within global politics.
