The collection
Article Abstract:
A discussion on the question of the relation of order and culture is presented, on the grounds that every order assumes a view of a whole world, a way of life. Collections are monuments and archives, the repository of a past and the legacy to be preserved, inscribing the having been of a culture, preserving it for the present and the future, so that knowledge and the memory that it inscribes can continue to be object of a reflection on the way of life of the collectivity.

A note on knowledge
Article Abstract:
The question of knowledge in the modern world, within the field of science and technology studies, is readily identified by terms such as power/knowledge, actor-network theory, regimes of truth. Additionally, different conceptual frameworks that theorize the interrelation of the natural and the social, matter and form, continue in a new language the venerable desire to find an overall or implicate order or coherence in the world.

The Enlightenment
Article Abstract:
The fundamental principles advocated by the Enlightenment are being challenged for different reasons and with different political goals at stake. A study examines what is at stake in the present in interrogating its legacy as discourse for imagining alternative transmodern and transcolonial futures, through a re-evaluation of the Enlightenment with reference to concepts of equality, liberty, emancipation, justice and becoming(s).
